Sandra White

Sandra White serves as a key procurement lead within the FA8571 Maintenance Contracting unit of the Air Force Sustainment Center, responsible for managing complex contracts to sustain mission-critical aerospace and electronic test systems. She specializes in acquiring precision instrumentation, avionics test equipment, and industrial maintenance systems essential to aircraft readiness and laboratory diagnostics. Her acquisitions focus on ensuring the reliability, calibration, and modernization of high-accuracy electrical and signal measurement devices used across Air Force maintenance depots and test facilities, aligning with the agency’s mandate to preserve operational capability through technical sustainment. White maintains long-standing partnerships with leading suppliers of test and measurement technology, including Teradyne, Inc., Keysight Technologies Inc., and Corelis, Inc., who provide advanced electronic test systems and automated instrumentation. She also collaborates with specialized fabrication and consulting firms such as Tyonek Machining and Fabrication, LLC, and Coho Consulting Group LLC for custom hardware development and technical integration services. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical fidelity, lifecycle support, and performance-based outcomes, fostering deep vendor engagement on complex, high-reliability procurements. White’s procurement portfolio reflects a singular focus on full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a strategic preference for technical capability over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing mission-critical performance and system interoperability over mandated small business set-asides. While small business participation is not formally targeted, vendors of all sizes are evaluated strictly on technical merit, past performance, and ability to meet stringent aerospace reliability standards. Her primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 334515—Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals—reflecting deep expertise in avionics test equipment, signal conditioning systems, and automated diagnostic instrumentation. She consistently acquires calibrated test benches, in-circuit testers, and embedded firmware-enabled measurement platforms critical to maintaining next-generation Air Force platforms.
