Yvonne Y. Camarce

Yvonne Y. Camarce serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA8621 Aflcmc Wnsk Sims, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing advanced aircrew training systems and mission-critical avionics infrastructure. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions for high-performance aircraft components, synthetic training environments, and embedded logistics support systems. Her expertise lies in negotiating and administering contracts that ensure operational readiness across the U.S. Air Force fleet, with a focus on technical procurement involving avionics, simulation hardware, and specialized electronic systems. She works closely with engineering and program offices to align contractual requirements with mission-critical performance standards. Camarce maintains a consistent procurement relationship with Lockheed Martin Corporation, a primary contractor for integrated avionics, training system upgrades, and mission-critical aerospace components. Her contracting patterns reflect long-term, performance-based partnerships with large prime contractors possessing deep technical capabilities in defense aerospace systems. While she primarily engages with established industry leaders, her work supports the integration of specialized subsystems and components from tiered supplier networks, ensuring seamless interoperability across legacy and next-generation platforms. Her set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly dominated by non-set-aside procurements at 92.3%, reflecting the technical complexity and scale of requirements that typically necessitate large, qualified vendors with advanced manufacturing and systems integration capabilities. A modest 7.7% of her awards are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating selective but intentional support for qualified small businesses capable of meeting stringent defense performance standards. Camarce’s procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 423690 (electronic parts wholesale), 334519 (measuring and controlling device manufacturing), and 336413 (aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing). She regularly acquires precision instrumentation, embedded control systems, avionics hardware, and specialized rubber components used in cockpit and airframe applications. Her domain expertise spans engineering services and technical supply chains supporting next-generation flight training and mission systems, requiring rigorous compliance with MIL-STD and DO-160 standards.
