Brandon Lohse

Brandon Lohse serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force, supporting the acquisition of critical aerospace and information systems essential to maintaining air superiority and space dominance. He manages complex contracting actions focused on computer systems design services, ensuring the integration of next-generation avionics, secure C5ISRT architectures, and AI-driven analytical platforms. His work directly enables the modernization of combat-ready capabilities and the sustainment of cyber-enabled command and control infrastructure across the Air Force’s operational domains. Lohse maintains consistent, high-volume contracting relationships with leading defense aerospace prime contractors, primarily The Boeing Company and Lockheed Martin Corporation. These partnerships are centered on the design, development, and integration of mission-critical systems, including secure data networks, embedded software solutions, and advanced digital architecture frameworks. His contracting approach reflects a strategic reliance on established industry leaders with proven technical expertise in aerospace systems engineering and defense-grade IT modernization. Lohse’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate focus on technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic categorizations, prioritizing performance, scalability, and interoperability in high-stakes defense environments. While small business participation is not formally targeted in his acquisitions, the nature of his contracts often involves subcontracting to specialized firms within the broader contractor ecosystem. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), where he procures end-to-end systems engineering, software development, and integrated mission systems design. His expertise spans secure cloud infrastructure, real-time data analytics, and AI-enabled decision support tools, all aligned with the Air Force’s imperative to accelerate digital transformation and maintain technological overmatch against peer adversaries.
