Toni L. McCabe

Toni McCabe serves as a key procurement lead within the FA8773 Acc 38 Cons agency under the Department of the Air Force, overseeing acquisitions critical to cyberspace operations, space security, and mission-critical IT infrastructure. Responsible for managing complex contract actions in support of formalized cyber training, secure communications systems, and sensitive computing environments, McCabe ensures alignment with Air Force readiness objectives. Her portfolio centers on high-tempo, technically demanding procurements requiring strict compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards and mission assurance protocols, frequently involving customized software development, specialized training systems, and advanced avionics instrumentation. McCabe maintains a consistent working relationship with Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, a primary contractor delivering integrated cyber training platforms and mission-specific hardware systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical expertise, past performance, and proven capability in secure environments. She engages primarily with established defense contractors capable of rapid prototyping, systems integration, and compliance with ITAR and NIST 800-53 requirements, favoring vendors with demonstrated experience in military cyber and space domains. Her contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 97.4% of awards issued under no set-aside provisions, indicating a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is minimal at 2.6%, it is strategically directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, suggesting selective but intentional inclusion of qualified small firms with niche technical capabilities. McCabe’s procurement focus is concentrated in three core NAICS categories: 611430 for professional cyber and space operations training, 334511 for advanced navigation and guidance systems, and 541511 for custom computer programming services. She consistently acquires mission-critical solutions including secure simulation environments, real-time data analytics platforms, and hardened software architectures tailored to Air Force cyber and space operational needs.
