Staci Swotek

Staci Swotek serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8656 Aflcmc Ebx, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for accelerating the development and fielding of next-generation strike systems. Her role centers on managing complex engineering services acquisitions to support the design, integration, and sustainment of hypersonic weapons, precision-guided munitions, and weapon-aircraft interfaces. She plays a pivotal role in translating operational requirements into technically sound contract actions, ensuring rapid prototyping and agile acquisition pathways align with Air Force Modernization Priorities. Her portfolio primarily encompasses systems engineering, technical analysis, and advanced weapons integration services essential to maintaining U.S. strategic deterrence. Staci collaborates extensively with defense aerospace and engineering firms specializing in missile systems, guidance technologies, and flight dynamics modeling. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, her procurement patterns indicate a consistent engagement with Tier-1 defense primes and mid-tier engineering service providers possessing deep expertise in classified weapon systems development. Her working relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in DoD technical validation processes, secure development environments, and rapid iteration cycles under OTAs or other non-traditional contracting mechanisms. Staci’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a strategic focus on technical capability over socioeconomic classifications, prioritizing mission-critical performance and speed of delivery. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, her reliance on specialized engineering firms often naturally includes qualified small businesses with niche technical capabilities in guidance systems or propulsion modeling. Her procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), with deep specialization in hypersonic propulsion design, missile guidance system integration, and weapon system sustainment engineering. She consistently seeks contractors with expertise in computational fluid dynamics, radar cross-section reduction, and embedded avionics development—domains critical to the next generation of air-launched strike systems.
