Rebekah Lamb

Rebekah Lamb serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8517, Air Force Sustainment Center’s Product Center for Aerospace Avionics and Components, where she manages complex acquisitions for mission-critical aerospace systems. Her work directly supports the operational readiness of Air Force platforms by securing precision-engineered parts, avionics, and specialized maintenance services for ejection seats, flight control systems, and electrical instrumentation. She handles a high-volume portfolio of sole-source and competitive contracts under FAR Part 15, emphasizing technical rigor, lifecycle support, and rapid response to urgent readiness requirements. Her acquisitions are tightly aligned with the agency’s modernization imperatives and sustainment goals for legacy and next-generation aircraft platforms. Lamb maintains a sustained working relationship with BAE SYSTEMS INFORMATION AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS INTEGRATION INC., the primary contractor for advanced avionics integration, sensor systems, and mission-critical component manufacturing. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense industrial base partners with proven technical capability and quality assurance certifications, particularly those with AS9100 and ITAR compliance. While she occasionally engages in competitive solicitations, her portfolio is dominated by non-competitive and single-source awards due to the proprietary nature and limited supplier base for specialized aerospace components. Her set-aside preferences show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 95.5% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. Only 4.5% are allocated to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and supply chain reliability over socioeconomic preferences. This reflects the constrained market for high-reliability aerospace components, where few small businesses possess the certifications or production capacity required. Lamb’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 811219 (repair and maintenance of aerospace components), 336413 (other aircraft parts manufacturing), and 334515 (instrumentation for electrical signal measurement). She consistently acquires precision-machined parts, flight control actuators, avionics test equipment, and calibrated electrical instrumentation, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace systems sustainment and electronic component procurement.
