Lasonia Anderson

Lasonia Anderson serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the FA8579 Software Support AFSC PZIM, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to sustain and modernize mission-critical avionics, electronic warfare systems, and embedded flight software. While not the primary contracting officer, she plays a vital role in facilitating acquisition planning, vendor coordination, and contract administration for software support and hardware integration initiatives. Her work ensures timely procurement of secure computing infrastructure, test equipment, and firmware-level software solutions essential to maintaining operational readiness across Air Force platforms. She routinely handles complex, technically demanding acquisitions requiring deep domain expertise in embedded systems and cybersecurity-compliant software development. Anderson maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GREENBRIER GOVERNMENT SOLUTIONS INC, STERLING COMPUTERS CORPORATION, GREEN HILLS SOFTWARE LLC, MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY INC, and SYSTEL INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven capabilities in real-time operating systems, avionics firmware, and ruggedized embedded hardware. Her procurement patterns indicate a reliance on established defense contractors with specialized engineering credentials and prior DoD experience, often engaging them through competitive, performance-based task orders under indefinite-delivery contracts. Her set-aside preferences show a strong emphasis on small business participation, with 40% of acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, while 8(a) competed awards account for 1.3%. Although the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors, her support role consistently promotes pathways for small businesses with relevant technical certifications and past performance in defense software environments. Anderson’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), reflecting her domain expertise in avionics software development, test automation, and mission-critical system integration. She frequently procures embedded software, FPGA-based instrumentation, and secure computing modules aligned with Air Force modernization priorities in radar, electronic warfare, and flight control systems.
