Nancy J Worley

Nancy J. Worley serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in managing the acquisition lifecycle for critical aerospace and space-based sustainment programs. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts for systems essential to national defense, including guided missile sustainment, satellite communications, and global positioning infrastructure. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic modernization goals, focusing on technical solutions that maintain operational readiness across high-priority defense platforms. Worley collaborates with a diverse ecosystem of contractors, including specialized manufacturers of sensing and control devices, semiconductor suppliers, and niche providers of aerospace logistics and air transportation services. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she cultivates long-term partnerships with firms possessing deep technical expertise in defense-critical systems, often engaging small businesses with niche capabilities to meet complex sustainment requirements. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and rigorous technical evaluation to ensure mission-critical system integrity. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Worley consistently prioritizes socioeconomic set-asides, with approximately 68.5% of her acquisitions designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small disadvantaged, veteran-owned, and other certified small businesses, reinforcing the Air Force’s commitment to inclusive economic growth within the national defense industrial base. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 334519 (other measuring and controlling devices), 334413 (semiconductor manufacturing), and 333415 (commercial heating and refrigeration equipment), reflecting her technical domain expertise in advanced avionics, sensor systems, and environmental control units for aerospace platforms. She routinely procures mission-essential components that support the reliability and longevity of space and missile systems, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of defense electronics and embedded systems procurement.
