Lavasia Caldwell-Bozeman

Lavasia Caldwell-Bozeman serves as a key procurement professional within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for advancing airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and test instrumentation systems. She manages acquisitions supporting the development, integration, and modernization of high-precision avionics, electronic warfare, and signal intelligence test platforms, ensuring mission readiness through cutting-edge measurement and control technologies. Her portfolio includes complex engineering services, specialized hardware fabrication, and infrastructure support essential to aerospace test and evaluation capabilities. She maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of contractors, including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC, each providing niche capabilities in electronic systems integration, fabrication, and test facility support. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical precision, and long-term vendor collaboration, often engaging firms with proven expertise in military-grade instrumentation and electromagnetic environment testing. Caldwell-Bozeman demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 62.5% of her acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5, and an additional 12.5% competitively awarded to 8(a) firms. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation through diverse, agile vendors while ensuring compliance with socioeconomic contracting goals. Her patterns indicate a preference for competed set-asides that prioritize capability over size, aligning with the agency’s need for specialized technical solutions. Her primary NAICS focus spans manufacturing and engineering services, particularly in farm and lawn equipment manufacturing (333111, 333112), sheet metal fabrication (332322), and research and development in physical sciences (541715). These reflect procurement for ruggedized test fixtures, environmental enclosures, sensor housings, and applied engineering R&D—domains critical to replicating real-world operational conditions for Air Force platforms. Her expertise lies at the intersection of industrial manufacturing and defense systems testing.
