Susan Wright

Susan Wright serves as a key procurement lead within the FA2217 Cocom C2 AFLCMC/HBC, a specialized unit of the Department of the Air Force dedicated to modernizing command and control architectures for air, space, and electromagnetic spectrum dominance. She manages acquisitions for mission-critical digital systems that enable real-time situational awareness, secure cross-domain data sharing, and cyber-enabled decision-making platforms. Her portfolio centers on engineering services and specialized hardware infrastructure, ensuring C2 systems remain resilient, interoperable, and operationally relevant across contested environments. She plays a pivotal role in translating operational requirements into technically sound procurement strategies aligned with Air Force modernization priorities. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, her procurement activity suggests collaboration with defense prime contractors and systems integrators experienced in secure C2 software development, embedded systems, and mission-critical communications hardware. She engages vendors capable of delivering high-assurance, low-latency solutions that meet DoD cybersecurity standards, including those compliant with RMF and DoDIN requirements. Her working relationships reflect a preference for technical excellence and proven capability over volume-based sourcing, prioritizing vendors with demonstrated success in military C2 modernization programs. Susan Wright’s contracting activity shows no use of set-aside programs, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-critical focus on rapid capability delivery and technical superiority, where specialized expertise outweighs socioeconomic preference criteria. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, she remains compliant with all federal acquisition regulations and may consider small business subcontractors within larger prime contracts. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 333415 (Air-Conditioning and Heating Equipment Manufacturing), indicating a dual emphasis on systems engineering for C2 platforms and environmental control systems for hardened command facilities. She procures advanced thermal management solutions for secure data centers and field-deployable C2 nodes, alongside custom engineering services for system integration, cybersecurity hardening, and rapid prototyping of next-generation command architectures.
