She oversees the full lifecycle of complex procurements—from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration—focusing on advanced digital systems that support command and control, cyber resilience, and data-driven operations. Her portfolio centers on research and development initiatives and custom software engineering services, ensuring the Air Force maintains technological advantage through agile, secure, and scalable digital capabilities. Potter collaborates with a diverse array of contractors, primarily tier-one systems integrators and specialized software development firms with proven expertise in cloud-native architectures, AI/ML platforms, and secure DevSecOps environments. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages vendors with demonstrated capability in delivering classified and unclassified IT modernization solutions under strict compliance frameworks such as FedRAMP and RMF. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and long-term sustainment planning. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity, with 33.3% of her awards structured as 8(a) competed contracts, demonstrating intentional support for small disadvantaged businesses with niche technical expertise. The remaining 66.7% of her acquisitions are competed broadly without set-aside restrictions, ensuring access to the broadest possible talent pool while maintaining competitive rigor. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 541715 (R&D in physical and engineering sciences) and 541512 (computer systems design services), reflecting deep specialization in emerging technologies such as cloud migration, AI-enabled analytics, and mission-critical software development. She routinely procures services involving prototype development, agile software delivery, cybersecurity integration, and workforce enablement programs aligned with Air Force digital transformation priorities.
