Benjamin Schaub

Benjamin Schaub serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8307 AFLCMC Hnck C3IN unit of the Department of the Air Force, where he supports the acquisition of mission-critical command, control, communications, intelligence, and cyber (C3I/Cyber) systems. His responsibilities center on managing complex software and cybersecurity procurements that enable real-time operational decision-making in air and space domains. He handles competitive acquisitions for custom software development, secure computing infrastructure, and cyber defense platforms, ensuring alignment with Air Force modernization priorities and DoD acquisition regulations. Schaub’s work directly supports the agency’s mission to deliver resilient, next-generation C3I capabilities under rapidly evolving threat environments. While specific contractor names are not currently available, Schaub engages with a diverse ecosystem of vendors specializing in secure software engineering, cyber operations tools, and mission-critical IT services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for agile, iterative development partnerships with firms capable of delivering classified and unclassified solutions under strict security protocols. He routinely collaborates with both large defense contractors and innovative small businesses that bring niche expertise in cyber resilience, data analytics, and embedded systems integration. Schaub demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over half of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. His portfolio consistently prioritizes small business participation, reflecting a deliberate strategy to tap into agile, specialized vendors capable of rapid innovation in cyber and software domains. Though no specific 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences are dominant, his overall set-aside rate of 55.6% underscores a robust dedication to expanding small business access to high-impact national security contracts. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), reflecting deep engagement in tailored software development for C3I systems. He also frequently procures services under 334220 (wireless communications equipment manufacturing) and 813110 (religious organizations), the latter likely tied to specialized IT support contracts or facility-based services. His technical domain expertise spans secure cloud architectures, cyber hygiene platforms, and mission-specific application development for aerospace operations.
