Norman Mackie

Norman Mackie serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the FA9301 AFTC PZIO, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to sustain critical aerospace infrastructure through strategic acquisition of maintenance, facility, and industrial support services. While not the lead contracting officer, Mackie plays a vital role in facilitating contract execution, coordinating requirements validation, and ensuring alignment with operational readiness goals. His work centers on complex, mission-critical procurements involving facilities support, equipment repair, and software-enabled monitoring systems, often requiring coordination across technical, logistics, and engineering stakeholders to meet stringent Air Force installation standards. Mackie maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including DATA MONITOR SYSTEMS INC and AT&T CORP, reflecting a reliance on vendors with proven capabilities in aerospace-grade monitoring systems and secure communications infrastructure. His procurement patterns indicate a preference for established contractors with deep domain expertise in industrial automation, facility systems integration, and mission-critical IT services, suggesting a focus on risk mitigation through vendor stability and technical reliability rather than high-volume, low-complexity sourcing. His contracting portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on small business participation, with nearly 38% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate, the consistent use of small business contracting demonstrates a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity and foster innovation from niche providers within the aerospace support ecosystem. The primary NAICS categories under his purview include Software Publishers (513210) for embedded monitoring and data analytics tools, Facilities Support Services (561210) for custodial, maintenance, and grounds management, and Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance (811210) for specialized avionics and instrumentation upkeep. This technical focus underscores his expertise in procuring integrated solutions that ensure the operational integrity of aging Air Force facilities and mission-critical systems.
