Nicole Greenwood

Nicole Greenwood serves as the primary contracting lead for the FA8206 AFSC PZACA (ICBM) office within the Department of the Air Force, where she manages mission-critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize the nation’s intercontinental ballistic missile deterrent, particularly the Minuteman III system. Her portfolio centers on high-reliability aerospace systems, precision electronic components, and nuclear command and control infrastructure, ensuring operational readiness through life-extension programs and advanced component integration. She oversees the full acquisition lifecycle—from requirements validation to contract award and administration—prioritizing technical rigor, supply chain resilience, and compliance with nuclear security protocols. Greenwood maintains strategic partnerships with key contractors including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC and Comark, LLC, both of which provide specialized engineering and manufacturing support for high-stakes ICBM subsystems. Her working relationships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in aerospace-grade electronics, radiation-hardened components, and mission-critical avionics. These partnerships are built on long-term technical collaboration, rigorous quality assurance, and adherence to strict DoD nuclear certification standards. She demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately two-thirds of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient supplier base of qualified small firms capable of supporting niche aerospace and engineering requirements. While no set-aside awards are also issued, the majority of her portfolio prioritizes socioeconomic inclusion to enhance innovation and capacity across the ICBM industrial base. Her procurement focus is dominated by NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), reflecting deep engagement with precision-machined, high-integrity components for missile guidance and propulsion systems. She also regularly procures engineering services under NAICS 541330, leveraging technical expertise for systems integration, reliability testing, and life-extension analysis. Her domain expertise lies in aerospace electronics, nuclear-hardened materials, and mission-critical subsystems essential to the enduring viability of the U.S. ICBM deterrent.
