Shytina Harley

Shytina Harley serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8556 Aflcmc Ebgk Com, a critical unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing guided missile and space vehicle systems. She manages the acquisition lifecycle for advanced air-to-air munitions and associated subassemblies, ensuring operational readiness across air and space domains. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to deliver next-generation weapon systems through rigorous technical oversight, competitive sourcing, and lifecycle management of high-priority defense capabilities. Harley specializes in complex engineering and manufacturing contracts requiring stringent compliance with military specifications and defense acquisition regulations. Her primary contractor relationship is with RAYTHEON COMPANY, a leading systems integrator and defense prime contractor with deep expertise in missile guidance, propulsion, and warhead technologies. Harley’s procurement approach emphasizes long-term strategic partnerships with this key industry player to ensure continuity in production, technical innovation, and sustainment of mission-critical systems. While RAYTHEON dominates her portfolio, she maintains a disciplined contracting environment focused on performance, reliability, and technical fidelity rather than broad vendor diversification. Harley’s acquisition portfolio reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside contracts, indicating a focus on full and open competition driven by technical necessity and national security imperatives. There is no documented use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides, reflecting the specialized, high-consequence nature of the systems she procures—where performance, heritage, and industrial base continuity outweigh socioeconomic preferences. Her procurement activity is exclusively aligned with NAICS 336419, covering other guided missile and space vehicle parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing. This specialization underscores her deep technical domain expertise in missile subsystems, including seekers, fuzes, flight control actuators, and guidance electronics. She consistently manages contracts requiring advanced materials, precision manufacturing, and rigorous qualification testing under MIL-STD and DoD acquisition frameworks.
