Benjamin Eddy

Benjamin Eddy serves as a secondary procurement specialist within the FA8206 AFSC PZACA (ICBM) organization, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s critical mission to sustain and modernize the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile deterrent. His responsibilities include facilitating acquisition activities for mission-critical aerospace components, electronic systems, and software services essential to nuclear command, control, and communication infrastructure. He collaborates closely with lead contracting officers to ensure timely and compliant procurement of high-reliability parts and custom-engineered solutions that uphold the operational readiness and technological superiority of the U.S. ICBM force. Eddy maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC and Comark, LLC, both of which provide specialized electronic components, precision manufacturing, and mission-critical system integration services. His procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor and supply chain resilience, favoring vendors with proven expertise in high-reliability aerospace electronics and defense-grade manufacturing standards. These partnerships are built on long-term performance and adherence to stringent DoD quality assurance protocols, particularly for components used in hardened, radiation-resistant environments. His contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 75% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions, while maintaining a deliberate 25% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balance ensures access to innovative small business capabilities while preserving the technical depth required for nuclear deterrent systems. He actively supports small business participation without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories, favoring capability-driven vendor selection. Eddy’s primary NAICS focus includes Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (334419), Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment Manufacturing (335999), and Custom Computer Programming Services (541511), reflecting his specialization in advanced electronics, embedded systems, and mission-specific software development. He routinely procures precision components for guidance systems, hardened circuitry, and secure communications hardware, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with the electronic and software architectures underpinning the nation’s ICBM deterrent.
