Noel P. Niccum

Noel P. Niccum serves as a key procurement lead within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO, a critical unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for advancing airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and test instrumentation systems. In this role, Niccum manages complex acquisitions for high-precision avionics, electronic warfare, and signal intelligence platforms, ensuring the integration of cutting-edge test and evaluation infrastructure to support aerospace mission readiness. His procurement portfolio emphasizes technical systems requiring rigorous certification, including electromagnetic compatibility, real-time data acquisition, and mission-critical control systems, aligning directly with the agency’s modernization imperatives. Niccum maintains consistent contracting relationships with 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 preference for niche technical contractors capable of delivering custom instrumentation, ruggedized hardware, and mission-specific test solutions. His working relationships are characterized by long-term engagement with firms demonstrating deep domain expertise in aerospace test environments and defense-grade system integration. Set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly dominated by unrestricted competitions, with 95% of awards issued under full and open competition. Only 5% of acquisitions are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences, though small business participation remains a recognized component of the acquisition strategy. The primary NAICS focus areas reveal a strong emphasis on surgical and medical instrument manufacturing—339113 and 339112—despite the agency’s aerospace mission, suggesting procurement of specialized sensor components, diagnostic instrumentation, or biomedical-grade test equipment adapted for military use. Additional focus on 334290 (communications equipment) and 811219 (other personal services) underscores procurement of embedded systems and technical training services to sustain complex test platforms.
