Paulette Montgomery-Troy

Paulette Montgomery-Troy serves as a Procurement Analyst within the FA3300 42 Cons Cc, a unit of the Department of the Air Force under Air University, where she supports the acquisition of mission-critical goods and services essential to operational readiness and educational infrastructure. Her role involves managing the full lifecycle of procurements—from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration—focusing on technical, facility, and training-environment solutions. She routinely handles acquisitions for audiovisual systems, simulation technologies, security infrastructure, and facility maintenance services, ensuring alignment with Air Force modernization goals and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Montgomery-Troy collaborates with a diverse pool of vendors, including manufacturers of computer peripheral equipment, security systems providers, landscaping contractors, and passenger vehicle rental services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she fosters balanced vendor partnerships that emphasize responsiveness, technical capability, and regulatory compliance. Her procurement patterns reflect a deliberate effort to engage both large and small suppliers, ensuring competitive pricing and innovation while maintaining strict adherence to FAR guidelines. Her contracting approach demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic programs, with nearly half of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a consistent preference for small business participation, including firms certified as SBA-qualified, without reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides. She actively promotes equitable access to federal opportunities for small businesses across multiple sectors. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Landscaping Services, Security Systems Services, Passenger Car Rental, Computer Terminal Manufacturing, and Blind and Shade Manufacturing—each representing approximately 16.7% of her portfolio. This diversified yet specialized profile underscores her expertise in procuring both high-tech educational equipment and essential facility support services, ensuring Air University’s training environments remain modern, secure, and fully functional.
