Shelley White

Shelley White supports the FA9302 AFTC PZZ mission by managing complex procurements for advanced airborne systems, mission-critical avionics, and next-generation communication technologies essential to air dominance and flight test infrastructure. While her formal title is not specified, her procurement activities center on acquiring specialized aircraft components, radio and wireless communications equipment, and aeronautical navigation systems that enable cutting-edge testing and operational readiness. She plays a pivotal role in translating technical requirements from engineering and test teams into actionable contract actions, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven innovation goals. Her primary contractor relationships include Carahsoft Technology Corp, Stirling Dynamics Limited, and Aantilia LLC, reflecting a consistent engagement with niche technology integrators and specialized defense contractors. These partnerships are typically formed around high-precision hardware development, systems integration, and technical services for avionics and communication platforms. Shelley’s contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration on iterative development and rapid prototyping initiatives critical to flight test environments. Set-aside preferences reveal a strong orientation toward open competition, with 80.8% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. Nevertheless, she maintains a meaningful commitment to small business participation, with 19.2% of contracts awarded under total small business set-asides, demonstrating alignment with broader Air Force goals to leverage agile, innovative small vendors without compromising mission-critical performance standards. Her procurement focus is dominated by NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), reflecting heavy demand for software-defined radio systems, data link integration, and test automation services. Additional emphasis on NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) underscores her expertise in procuring custom avionics hardware, while NAICS 517312 and 511210 indicate involvement in specialized telecommunications and data services supporting secure airborne networks. Her technical domain spans embedded systems, RF communications, and flight test instrumentation.
