Lacey M. McAlister

Lacey M. McAlister serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA8672 Aflcmc Ebdm, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for the development, sustainment, and production of precision-guided munitions and advanced weapon system technologies. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of acquisition contracts supporting the modernization of the Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) family and next-generation ordnance systems. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for technical services, specialized manufacturing, and logistical support essential to maintaining air dominance and operational readiness. She works closely with engineering, logistics, and program management teams to align procurement strategy with mission-critical timelines and technical requirements. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, McAlister engages with a broad spectrum of defense industrial base vendors, including firms specializing in munitions integration, electronic components, and weapon system sustainment. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, risk mitigation, and performance-based outcomes, fostering partnerships with suppliers capable of meeting stringent military specifications and rapid deployment timelines. McAlister’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical capability and mission suitability over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains compliant with all federal contracting regulations and may consider small business participation where it aligns with technical needs. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Custom Computer Programming Services (541511) for weapon system software, Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing (339112) and Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing (339113) for specialized sensor and fuze components, and Document Preparation Services (561410) for technical documentation and compliance reporting. These reflect a unique blend of defense electronics, precision manufacturing, and technical administration supporting advanced munitions systems.
