Mandy Lambert

Mandy Lambert serves as a key procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in advanced aerospace and defense systems. Her role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting for mission-critical components, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and technical performance standards. She specializes in sourcing high-precision parts and subsystems for aviation and ordnance systems, aligning procurement strategies with national security requirements. Her work directly supports the development and sustainment of next-generation platforms by securing reliable, certified suppliers capable of meeting stringent military specifications. Lambert maintains a broad network of Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers across the aerospace and defense industrial base, engaging with manufacturers of aircraft engines, avionics, and ordnance accessories. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently collaborates with firms possessing AS9100 and ITAR certifications, emphasizing supply chain resilience and technical traceability. Her contracting approach prioritizes competitive bidding and performance-based acquisition methods, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in quality assurance and delivery reliability. Her procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. This indicates a focus on technical capability and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains compliant with all small business participation requirements. Her approach suggests a mission-driven emphasis on operational readiness, where access to specialized manufacturing expertise outweighs socioeconomic targeting. Lambert’s primary focus lies in NAICS 336412 (aircraft engine and engine parts manufacturing) and 336413 (other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment), with significant activity in 332994 (small arms and ordnance) and 334519 (measuring and controlling devices). She procures mission-critical components including turbine blades, flight control actuators, precision sensors, and electronic control units, demonstrating deep domain expertise in propulsion systems, avionics integration, and defense electronics manufacturing. Her work supports the sustainment and modernization of military aircraft and weapon systems.
