Nicole Anderson

Nicole Anderson serves as a Contracting Officer for FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, where she manages complex acquisitions supporting airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and test instrumentation systems critical to aerospace mission readiness. Her portfolio centers on the development, integration, and sustainment of high-precision avionics, electronic warfare, and signal intelligence platforms, with a strong emphasis on modernizing test and evaluation infrastructure. She routinely handles competitive and sole-source procurements under FAR Part 15, ensuring compliance with DoD acquisition regulations while aligning contract outcomes with strategic technology modernization goals. Anderson maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized vendors, including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche technical capabilities in electrical systems integration, instrumentation design, and mission-critical infrastructure support. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical competency, past performance, and agile delivery, often engaging contractors with proven expertise in electromagnetic compatibility, signal conditioning, and ruggedized hardware development. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to small business participation, with 42.9% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, while 57.1% remain open to all competitors. She actively leverages small business set-asides to foster innovation from agile vendors, though she does not exclusively prioritize specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, instead favoring capability-driven selection within the small business pool. Anderson’s primary NAICS focus includes 335999 for miscellaneous electrical components, 238210 for electrical installation services, 541712 for physical and engineering R&D, and 812910 for pet care services—a notable outlier likely reflecting administrative or facility support contracts. Her technical domain expertise lies in electromagnetic systems, test instrumentation, and avionics integration, making her a key enabler of next-generation aerospace test and evaluation capabilities.
