Tahnee L. Yon

Tahnee L. Yon serves as a key procurement professional within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to advance airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and test instrumentation systems. She manages complex acquisitions for high-precision avionics, electronic warfare, and signal intelligence platforms, ensuring the integration of cutting-edge measurement and control technologies critical to aerospace mission readiness. Her work focuses on modernizing test and evaluation infrastructure through competitive contracting processes that prioritize technical excellence and operational reliability. Yon maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These partnerships reflect a blend of specialized engineering, infrastructure support, and electronic systems integration capabilities. Her procurement approach favors established vendors with proven expertise in ruggedized instrumentation, electromagnetic compatibility, and mission-critical hardware development, often requiring compliance with military standards such as MIL-STD-810 and DO-160. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted procurements, she consistently allocates approximately 23.5% of contract opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a structured commitment to small business participation without reliance on specialized socioeconomic programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. Her primary industry focus lies in NAICS codes 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing), and 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), reflecting a technical portfolio centered on sensor systems, RF instrumentation, and precision measurement devices. She routinely procures advanced test equipment, signal processing modules, and embedded control systems that support the development and validation of next-generation aerospace platforms.
