Lindsey Ewing

Lindsey Ewing supports the procurement mission of the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Precision Instrumentation Division (AFRL PZLE), managing acquisitions for advanced scientific and analytical instrumentation critical to aerospace and defense R&D. Responsible for sourcing high-precision measurement systems, signal acquisition hardware, and specialized software platforms, Ewing ensures alignment with the agency’s mission to develop next-generation analytical tools for electromagnetic, thermal, and quantum sensing applications. Their work bridges technical requirements from laboratory researchers with commercial capabilities, facilitating rapid prototyping and field deployment of mission-critical systems under strict compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Ewing maintains consistent partnerships with key technology providers including The MathWorks, Inc. for simulation and data analysis software, and Potomac Electrical Services, LLC for calibration, maintenance, and precision repair of sensitive instrumentation. These relationships reflect a preference for vendors with deep domain expertise in aerospace-grade electronics and scientific system integration, emphasizing long-term sustainment and technical support over commoditized procurement. Contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established contractors with proven capabilities in meeting stringent military specifications and environmental testing standards. Set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 92.9% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the specialized nature of required technologies and limited qualified vendors. Only 7.1% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides, indicating a pragmatic approach that prioritizes technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic targeting, while still maintaining compliance with FAR 19.5. The primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), with significant activity in 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals) and 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance). Ewing’s portfolio centers on high-resolution spectrometers, signal conditioning systems, embedded data acquisition units, and calibrated test benches—products requiring advanced engineering and rigorous certification for use in classified and high-reliability environments.
