Rebecca DeMitchell

Rebecca DeMitchell serves as a key procurement lead within the FA7022 Amic Det 2 Ol Patrick Pka, a specialized unit of the Department of the Air Force focused on advancing advanced sensing, geophysical monitoring, and signal exploitation capabilities. She manages acquisitions for high-precision scientific instrumentation, laboratory-grade analytical systems, and mission-critical software platforms that support defense intelligence and environmental data analysis. Her role is central to translating technical requirements from research and engineering teams into actionable contract vehicles, ensuring alignment with national security objectives and technical rigor in procurement execution. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, DeMitchell maintains a balanced ecosystem of vendor partnerships, engaging both established defense technology providers and agile small businesses capable of delivering custom analytical tools and geospatial software solutions. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for collaborative, performance-based engagements that prioritize innovation, rapid prototyping, and system integration capabilities, often requiring compliance with DoD cybersecurity and data integrity standards. Her procurement strategy is evenly split between small business set-asides and open competitions, demonstrating a deliberate 50% commitment to small business participation under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach ensures access to niche technical expertise while fostering competition and resilience in the supplier base, aligning with broader DoD goals for innovation through diversified vendor engagement. DeMitchell’s primary NAICS focus lies in Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (541715), with significant activity in Software Publishers (513210) and All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (541990). She routinely procures custom-developed signal processing algorithms, field-deployable geophysical sensors, data fusion platforms, and scientific visualization tools, underscoring deep expertise in technical domains critical to defense science and intelligence operations.
