Maurice Meadows

Maurice Meadows serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages the acquisition of advanced aerospace test and evaluation systems critical to mission readiness. His portfolio centers on procuring high-precision instrumentation for avionics, electronic warfare, radar, and signal intelligence platforms, ensuring the Air Force’s test infrastructure remains at the forefront of electromagnetic and sensing technology. He handles complex sole-source and competitive procurements under FAR Part 15, often involving technical specifications for custom-built hardware and integrated test beds, aligning acquisitions with the agency’s modernization priorities in aerospace systems development. Meadows maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These vendors provide niche capabilities in test equipment fabrication, electromagnetic shielding, instrumentation integration, and mission-critical control systems. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established technical partners with proven expertise in defense-grade hardware and systems integration, fostering long-term collaboration on high-complexity, low-volume procurements requiring rigorous compliance with military standards. His set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly aligned with open competition, with 94.4% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. Only 5.6% of his acquisitions are designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic targeting, though he remains compliant with all applicable small business regulations. Meadows’ procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 332993 (Ammunition Manufacturing), 541712 (R&D in Physical and Engineering Sciences), and 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), reflecting deep engagement with defense-specific R&D, sensor system development, and aerospace component integration. He routinely procures custom electronic test fixtures, signal conditioning hardware, and embedded control systems, demonstrating specialized expertise in the acquisition of classified and controlled technical systems supporting next-generation air dominance capabilities.
