Trunita D Plummer

Trunita A. Plummer serves as a Contracting Officer within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, responsible for managing complex professional services acquisitions that support Air Force operational readiness and modernization. She oversees the procurement of mission-critical technical and administrative services, with a focus on systems engineering and technical assistance, enterprise IT modernization, and cybersecurity infrastructure. Her portfolio is aligned with the agency’s strategic priorities to sustain advanced technical capabilities through agile, performance-based contracting methods, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS requirements while delivering value-driven outcomes for national defense missions. Plummer maintains longstanding relationships with key contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and Purdue University, reflecting a balanced approach to partnering with both industry specialists and academic research institutions. She routinely engages vendors offering advanced analytical services, cybersecurity solutions, and technical consulting, fostering collaborative procurement environments that emphasize innovation, scalability, and mission alignment. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a preference for established performers with proven technical expertise, often leveraging Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and Other Transaction Authority (OTA) mechanisms to accelerate acquisition timelines. While the majority of her acquisitions—75%—are conducted as unrestricted competitions, Plummer consistently reserves 25% for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. She actively promotes small business participation without favoring specific categories such as 8(a) or HUBZone, instead prioritizing broad-based competition among qualified small entities capable of delivering high-value technical services. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), with significant activity in office administrative support and higher education partnerships. This reflects a dual emphasis on technical IT modernization and operational efficiency, positioning her as a key steward of the Air Force’s administrative and engineering support infrastructure.
