Brandon Lohse

Brandon Lohse serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2517 21 Cons Bldg 350 office, where he manages mission-critical acquisitions to modernize facility infrastructure and enhance operational readiness. His portfolio centers on the procurement of electronic computer manufacturing systems and integrated communication technologies essential for sustaining secure, resilient defense environments. He oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements development to award and administration—ensuring alignment with Air Force infrastructure modernization goals and cybersecurity resilience standards. Lohse’s work directly supports the upgrade of fire safety, data center, and command-and-control systems across critical installations. He maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including ASTERI CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, ARHAB LLC, and PRIMEPRO BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in defense-grade electronics, facility integration, and secure IT infrastructure. Lohse fosters collaborative, performance-based contracting relationships that emphasize technical compliance, delivery timelines, and adherence to federal cybersecurity frameworks such as NIST SP 800-53. Lohse demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern ensures equitable access for small, independently owned firms to compete for high-impact defense contracts, reinforcing the Department of Defense’s socioeconomic goals without reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides. His contracting approach prioritizes broad small business engagement across diverse technical capabilities. His primary focus lies in NAICS 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing), where he procures custom-built computing hardware, embedded systems, secure networking equipment, and specialized electronic components tailored for military facility operations. His technical domain expertise spans secure data acquisition systems, hardened computing platforms, and integrated facility control systems critical to Air Force mission continuity.
