Kristine Wright

Kristine E. Wright serves as a Contracting Officer for the FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, where she manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and technical systems that support airborne and ground-based sensing, electronic warfare, and test instrumentation capabilities. Her portfolio centers on procurement activities essential to modernizing aerospace test and evaluation infrastructure, ensuring mission readiness through precision measurement and control systems. She routinely handles complex construction, site preparation, and specialized engineering services contracts, aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic goals in electromagnetic compatibility, avionics integration, and signal intelligence support. Wright maintains strong, recurring partnerships with a core group of contractors including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These relationships reflect a consistent reliance on vendors with proven expertise in facility construction, electrical systems integration, and environmental remediation services tailored to sensitive military test ranges. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering stable, mission-critical supply chain relationships. A hallmark of Wright’s procurement strategy is her pronounced focus on small business participation, with 75% of her awards issued under the 8(a) Competed set-aside program. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to socioeconomic development, prioritizing disadvantaged small businesses capable of delivering specialized technical and construction services. While 8(a) firms dominate her portfolio, she also leverages total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating alignment with federal goals to broaden contractor diversity and capability. Her primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), followed by site preparation and electrical contracting services (238910 and 238210). She frequently acquires remediation services (562910) and poured concrete infrastructure (238110) to support secure, high-integrity test environments. Wright’s expertise lies in procuring construction and technical services that enable the development and sustainment of advanced aerospace test ranges, ensuring compliance with DoD standards for electromagnetic integrity and operational safety.
