Rebecca A. Little serves as a Contract Manager within the Headquarters of Air Combat Command’s Acquisition Management Integration Center (FA4890), where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain and modernize air dominance capabilities. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for advanced training systems, command and control infrastructure, and technical services essential to pilot readiness and tactical communications. Her work directly supports the Department of the Air Force’s objective to maintain combat-ready forces through agile, performance-based procurement strategies aligned with DoD acquisition reform initiatives. Rebecca regularly collaborates with key contractors including VETPRIDE-EMI MAINTENANCE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MILTRAIN JV II LLC, and JBW FEDITC JV LLC, reflecting a preference for joint ventures and specialized service providers with deep domain expertise in defense training and systems integration. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term, performance-driven partnerships with vendors capable of delivering complex, mission-essential solutions under firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types. She prioritizes vendors with proven track records in rapid fielding, sustainment, and technical support for airborne and ground-based tactical systems. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Rebecca consistently structures procurements to maximize participation from service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, with 60% of her awards designated under SDVOSB set-asides. An additional 20% are reserved for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small, mission-aligned firms. Her contracting approach balances compliance with regulatory mandates and strategic sourcing to foster a resilient, diverse supplier base. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing software development, simulation systems, and data analytics for training environments. She also frequently procures telecommunications equipment under NAICS 334210 and electrical infrastructure components under NAICS 423610, reflecting expertise in integrating hardware, software, and networked systems to support next-generation air combat capabilities.
