Nicole P. Overhiser

Nicole P. Overhiser serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4830 23 Cons Cc unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she supports the acquisition of mission-critical communications systems, aviation safety equipment, and full-mission training solutions essential to airborne operational readiness. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract execution—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with Air Force modernization priorities and federal acquisition regulations. She routinely manages complex procurements for advanced radio and wireless infrastructure, mission simulation systems, and base support services, maintaining strict compliance with defense acquisition protocols while fostering innovation through responsive contracting practices. Overhiser maintains established relationships with a consistent cohort of contractors, including ARDMORE CONSULTING GROUP, INC, MACHINE TOOL MARKETING INC, GOVAGE, INC., DARK WATERS ENTERPRISING, LLC, and TESTFORCE USA, INC. These partnerships reflect a blend of specialized technical service providers and niche suppliers capable of delivering tailored solutions for aviation communications and training environments. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade systems integration, logistics support, and mission-specific equipment modification, suggesting a collaborative, performance-driven approach to vendor management. Her procurement strategy reflects an even split between small business set-asides and open competitions, demonstrating a deliberate balance between socioeconomic objectives and mission-critical capability requirements. While she actively leverages FAR 19.5 small business set-asides to promote vendor diversity, she also ensures flexibility to source from larger entities when technical complexity or scale demands it. Notably, her portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 112130 (Dual-Purpose Cattle Ranching and Farming) and NAICS 812320 (Drycleaning and Laundry Services), which appear to reflect administrative or facility support contracts rather than core mission systems. This suggests a broader scope of responsibilities encompassing base sustainment services, indicating her role extends beyond tactical procurement into comprehensive installation support operations.
