Tiffany L. Young

Tiffany Young serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and advancing mission-critical procurement objectives across technical and training domains. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex procurements for aerospace systems, electronic instrumentation, and information technology services, requiring deep familiarity with technical specifications, source selection methodologies, and performance-based contracting frameworks. Tiffany’s work supports the acquisition of specialized equipment and services essential to national defense and operational readiness. While specific contractor names are not available, Tiffany routinely engages with a diverse range of vendors, including prime contractors with expertise in avionics and aerospace manufacturing, as well as IT service providers delivering systems design and computer training solutions. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven technical capabilities, while actively fostering competition among small and mid-sized businesses. She maintains a collaborative approach with industry, participating in pre-solicitation outreach and market research to ensure requirements are realistic and achievable. Tiffany demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 20% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Although the majority of her contracts remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small businesses. She does not appear to prioritize specialized socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, instead favoring broad-based small business eligibility criteria to maximize competition and innovation. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment), 334511 (aeronautical systems and instruments), and 334515 (electrical measurement instrumentation), reflecting expertise in defense and aerospace technology. She also frequently procures computer systems design services and computer training solutions, indicating a dual emphasis on hardware integration and workforce development. Tiffany’s technical domain knowledge spans avionics, sensor systems, and IT infrastructure, positioning her as a specialist in high-precision, mission-critical acquisitions.
