Andrew J. Glass

Andrew J. Glass serves as Deputy Chief of Contracts (670 AESS) for the FA8601 Aflcmc Pzio under the Department of the Air Force, where he oversees the acquisition of mission-critical aerospace and defense systems. His responsibilities include managing the procurement lifecycle for high-precision analytical instruments, electromedical devices, industrial measurement systems, and specialized electrotherapeutic equipment essential to flight testing, fuel analysis, and environmental monitoring. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract strategies with the Air Force’s operational readiness goals, particularly in support of test range infrastructure and laboratory-grade instrumentation needs. Mr. Glass maintains a consistent working relationship with C MARTIN CO INC, a trusted vendor with demonstrated expertise in delivering calibrated analytical and electrotherapeutic systems. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical specificity, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of meeting stringent military-grade specifications for precision, calibration, and reliability. He engages primarily with established contractors possessing ISO 9001, AS9100, or NIST-traceable certification capabilities, prioritizing quality assurance and supply chain integrity. While the majority of his acquisitions—83.3%—are conducted under full and open competition, Mr. Glass actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5), accounting for 16.7% of his portfolio. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, but consistently integrates qualified small businesses into prime and subcontractor roles, ensuring broad economic opportunity without compromising technical requirements. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 339113 (surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing), 334111 (electronic computer manufacturing), 334220 (radio and wireless communications equipment), and 335999 (miscellaneous electrical components). This reflects a technical domain expertise in instrumentation for aerospace diagnostics, embedded computing systems, signal conditioning hardware, and mission-critical sensor interfaces used in controlled test environments.
