Tracy A Burke

Tracy A. Burke serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4861 99 Cons Lgc unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain airpower readiness. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for advanced communications systems, specialized equipment maintenance, and infrastructure projects essential to command, control, and surveillance operations. Burke ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement actions with the agency’s strategic priorities of modernizing secure, resilient broadcasting and network infrastructure. She routinely handles complex, performance-based solicitations requiring technical expertise in telecommunications, systems integration, and facility modernization. While specific contractor names are not available, Burke’s procurement patterns reflect a consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses certified under socioeconomic programs and firms with demonstrated capability in defense-grade communications and systems engineering. Her working relationships emphasize collaboration with vendors capable of delivering secure, interoperable solutions under strict DoD compliance standards, often requiring rigorous testing and certification protocols. Burke demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of her acquisitions structured as 8(a) competed set-asides and the other half as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach underscores her dedication to fostering competitive opportunities for disadvantaged and small businesses while maintaining rigorous performance expectations. Her contracting strategy actively promotes vendor diversity and capacity building within the defense industrial base. Her primary NAICS focus areas—485113 (Bus and Other Motor Vehicle Transit Systems) and 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services)—reflect a unique blend of logistical support and strategic advisory procurement. Though seemingly disparate, these categories support the agency’s operational sustainment needs, including fleet management for mission support vehicles and technical consulting for systems integration and process optimization in complex Air Force environments. Burke’s expertise lies in bridging operational requirements with tailored procurement solutions in these specialized domains.
