Sandra Weickert

Sandra Weickert serves as a Contracting Officer for FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, where she manages complex acquisitions supporting airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and test instrumentation systems critical to aerospace mission readiness. Her portfolio centers on the development, integration, and sustainment of high-precision avionics, electronic warfare, radar, and signal intelligence platforms. She executes procurements under full and open competition and small business set-asides, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS requirements while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic modernization goals for test and evaluation infrastructure. Weickert maintains consistent relationships with key contractors including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC, reflecting a balanced mix of specialized engineering firms, technical service providers, and construction-capable vendors. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term partnerships with firms possessing niche expertise in electromagnetic compatibility, test equipment calibration, and mission-critical system integration, fostering collaboration on high-stakes, low-volume procurements requiring rigorous technical validation. While 83.3% of her acquisitions are conducted under full and open competition, she maintains a deliberate 16.7% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a structured approach to small business engagement without reliance on socioeconomic set-asides like 8(a) or HUBZone. Her procurement strategy prioritizes technical capability and mission alignment over socioeconomic categorization, ensuring mission-critical requirements are met with qualified, responsive vendors. Weickert’s primary NAICS focus spans prefabricated wood building manufacturing, radio and wireless communications equipment manufacturing, air transportation support, physical sciences R&D, and national security services—each representing 20% of her portfolio. This reflects a unique blend of infrastructure, advanced electronics, and defense R&D procurement, underscoring her expertise in cross-domain systems integration for aerospace test and evaluation environments.
