Nancy Petersen

Nancy Petersen serves as a key procurement lead within the FA8212 Afsc Olh Pzaba, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing mission-critical aerospace systems. She manages contract actions focused on avionics, aircraft subsystems, and electrical components essential to legacy platforms such as the F-16 and T-38. Her work ensures the continued operational readiness of airframe-integrated systems, including control panels, power distribution units, and guidance instrumentation, aligning with the agency’s lifecycle support mission for high-priority defense assets. Petersen maintains enduring relationships with prime contractors Technology Dynamics, Inc. and BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc., both of which provide specialized engineering, integration, and sustainment services for complex avionics architectures. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical proficiency, quality assurance, and compliance with military specifications, ensuring seamless integration of upgraded components into existing fleet platforms. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her contract actions set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to full and open competition. This pattern underscores her dedication to fostering innovation through small business engagement while maintaining access to established defense industrial capabilities. Petersen’s portfolio is exclusively concentrated under NAICS 334511, specializing in the manufacture of aeronautical navigation, guidance, and control systems. She procures high-reliability electrical and electronic components, flight control interfaces, and mission-critical instrumentation designed for harsh operational environments, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace systems integration and defense electronics sustainment.
