Maurice Griffin

Maurice Griffin serves as a Contracting Officer within the Department of the Air Force’s FA8771 Aflcmc Gbk, where he is responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical information technology solutions that enable air and space operations. His role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting for custom software development, cloud modernization, and AI-enabled systems that support command and control, cyber resilience, and data-driven decision-making. Griffin ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities in digital transformation and workforce upskilling. He typically handles complex, performance-based contracts requiring technical rigor, agile development methodologies, and rigorous cybersecurity validation under NIST and RMF frameworks. Griffin collaborates with a diverse range of vendors specializing in defense-grade software engineering, with a focus on firms capable of delivering secure, scalable, and mission-tailored applications. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with industry partners possessing DoD CMMC compliance, ISO 27001 certification, and experience in DevSecOps environments. His working relationships are characterized by early industry engagement, clear statement of objectives, and structured performance metrics to ensure outcomes-driven delivery. Griffin’s procurement strategy reflects a firm commitment to full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-asides. He does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, instead emphasizing technical capability, past performance, and cybersecurity readiness as primary selection criteria. This approach ensures the Air Force receives the most capable and resilient solutions for its high-stakes operational environments. His primary focus is on NAICS 541511—Custom Computer Programming Services—where he procures end-to-end software development, system integration, and sustainment services for classified and unclassified platforms. He specializes in acquisitions involving cloud-native architectures, machine learning pipelines, and secure software supply chains, requiring deep expertise in DoD IT standards and mission-specific operational requirements.
