Rebecca C. Hoppe

Rebecca C. Hoppe serves as a key procurement professional within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, supporting the development and integration of advanced airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and test instrumentation systems. She manages acquisitions critical to aerospace mission readiness, focusing on avionics, electronic warfare, radar, and signal intelligence platforms. Her work ensures the modernization of test and evaluation infrastructure through the procurement of high-precision measurement and control systems, aligning with the agency’s strategic imperatives in electromagnetic spectrum dominance and systems interoperability. Hoppe maintains consistent relationships 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 partnerships reflect a balanced approach to sourcing specialized engineering, instrumentation, and infrastructure services, with an emphasis on firms capable of delivering ruggedized, mission-critical hardware and technical support. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in aerospace test environments and field-deployable systems. Her procurement portfolio is predominantly open competition, with 72.6% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting the technical complexity and specialized nature of the requirements. Nevertheless, she actively supports small business participation, with 26.3% of awards designated as total small business set-asides and 1.1% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, demonstrating a measured commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission fidelity. Hoppe’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334513 and 334511, corresponding to the manufacture of industrial process instrumentation and aeronautical sensing systems. She frequently acquires custom-built test equipment, signal conditioning hardware, and wireless communication systems used in live-fire testing and electromagnetic environment simulation. Her technical domain expertise centers on avionics integration, electronic test instrumentation, and mission-critical communications infrastructure.
