Macie A. Dyke

Macie Dyke serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8528 Aflcmc Wika, a critical unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing the U-2 Dragon Lady high-altitude reconnaissance fleet. Dyke manages complex acquisition programs centered on engineering support, sensor sustainment, and life-extension initiatives for legacy ISR platforms. Their work ensures continuous operational readiness through integrated logistics and systems engineering, overseeing contracts that bridge advanced aerospace technology with mission-critical intelligence capabilities. Dyke’s portfolio focuses on technical acquisitions requiring deep aerospace domain expertise and rigorous systems integration. Dyke maintains a primary working relationship with THE BOEING COMPANY, leveraging its extensive capabilities in aircraft systems integration, avionics modernization, and sustainment engineering. The contracting pattern reflects a reliance on large prime contractors with proven experience in classified aerospace programs, particularly those capable of delivering end-to-end support for high-altitude reconnaissance platforms. Vendor partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based agreements emphasizing technical innovation, rapid prototyping, and classified supply chain management. Set-aside preferences are heavily skewed toward unrestricted competition, with 93.3% of awards issued under full and open competition and only 6.7% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a mission-driven emphasis on technical capability and program continuity over socioeconomic set-asides, though limited small business participation is maintained where specialized expertise aligns with urgent operational needs. Dyke’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 334511 (aeronautical system and instrument manufacturing), 336413 (other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing), and 541330 (engineering services), underscoring expertise in avionics, sensor suites, flight control systems, and systems engineering support. The technical domain centers on high-altitude ISR platforms, with a strong emphasis on sensor integration, electronic warfare compatibility, and legacy platform sustainment for the U-2 fleet.
