Susan L. Trombley

Susan L. Trombley serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA3300 42 Cons Cc under the Department of the Air Force, supporting the operational readiness and educational infrastructure of Air University. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for technical, educational, and facility-related services, ensuring alignment with mission-critical priorities in immersive simulation technologies, command and control audiovisual systems, and infrastructure modernization. Her acquisitions are primarily service-based, focusing on maintenance, repair, and technical support for advanced training environments, with an emphasis on compliance with federal acquisition regulations and timely delivery of mission-enabling solutions. Trombley collaborates with a diverse range of contractors specializing in defense education support, simulation system integration, and facility maintenance services. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing expertise in military training technology, AV systems installation, and technical logistics. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based service contracts, competitive bidding, and vendor accountability to ensure high-quality outcomes in high-stakes educational and operational environments. Her procurement activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic categorization, though she remains compliant with all applicable small business policies and may consider qualified small businesses when they meet technical requirements. Her approach prioritizes mission effectiveness and value over socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the agency’s need for specialized, mission-ready solutions. Trombley’s work is concentrated in NAICS 811219 — Other Personal and Household Goods Repair and Maintenance — which, in this context, encompasses the maintenance, calibration, and modernization of advanced simulation and training equipment. She specializes in procuring services for the upkeep and enhancement of immersive learning platforms, audiovisual command systems, and mission-critical training infrastructure, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense education technology and the unique operational demands of Air University’s training ecosystem.
