Juanita Hunt

Juanita T. Hunt serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain Air Force operational readiness. Her portfolio centers on professional services including systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), cybersecurity infrastructure, and enterprise IT modernization, ensuring alignment with DoD strategic priorities. She manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and closeout—emphasizing compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven outcomes. Hunt’s work directly supports the agency’s focus on advanced technical support and data-driven decision-making across high-priority defense domains. She maintains consistent procurement relationships with key vendors including SIGMATECH, INC. and Purdue University, reflecting a balanced approach between commercial service providers and academic research partners. Her contracting patterns favor long-term, performance-based engagements that leverage specialized technical expertise, particularly in analytical support and cybersecurity solutions. Hunt demonstrates a preference for collaborative, non-traditional partnerships that integrate institutional knowledge with agile service delivery models, often utilizing IDIQ and BPA mechanisms to streamline acquisition timelines. Hunt exhibits a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over half of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and a notable emphasis on Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. Her contracting strategy actively promotes small business participation, ensuring competitive opportunities for disadvantaged and veteran-owned firms while maintaining rigorous performance standards. This pattern underscores her alignment with DoD’s broader goals of inclusive economic growth and resilience in the defense industrial base. Her primary procurement focus spans NAICS codes related to administrative and management consulting, though she also engages in niche categories such as medical instrument manufacturing and automotive repair services—reflecting the diverse operational needs of Air Force installations. While these appear atypical for a defense agency, they support ancillary mission-enabling functions, including facility sustainment and specialized logistics support. Hunt’s expertise lies in aligning seemingly disparate technical requirements with appropriate acquisition pathways, ensuring mission success through tailored, compliant contracting solutions.
