Niyiah Roney

Niyiah Roney supports the FA2823 AFTC PZIO within the Department of the Air Force, managing procurement activities critical to the development and integration of advanced airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and test instrumentation systems. Responsible for acquiring specialized equipment and technical services that enhance avionics, electronic warfare, and signal intelligence capabilities, Roney ensures alignment with the agency’s mission to modernize test and evaluation infrastructure. Their work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from requirements definition to contract award and administration—focusing on high-precision measurement systems and electromagnetic compatibility solutions essential to aerospace mission readiness. Roney maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of contractors including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in ruggedized instrumentation, test hardware fabrication, and field-deployable control systems. The contracting pattern indicates a reliance on established small businesses capable of delivering custom-engineered solutions under tight technical and schedule constraints, often in support of classified or expeditionary operations. A significant portion of Roney’s portfolio—41.7%—is designated for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to fostering small business participation without reliance on specialized socioeconomic programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. This approach prioritizes capability over certification, enabling agile sourcing from nimble vendors with niche technical competencies in industrial instrumentation and field support services. The primary NAICS codes under Roney’s purview—113310, 333924, and 333992—reflect an unusual but deliberate focus on logging, industrial material handling, and welding equipment manufacturing. These categories are leveraged to procure ruggedized chassis, mobile test platforms, and custom fabrication services critical to field-deployable sensor systems, revealing a unique application of industrial supply chains to aerospace test and evaluation needs.
