Brooks Poll

Brooks Poll serves as the primary procurement lead for the FA8252 agency under the Department of the Air Force, overseeing the acquisition of critical remanufactured aircraft components essential to sustaining legacy and active-duty air transportation systems. Responsible for end-to-end contract execution, Poll manages complex lifecycle extension programs focused on gearbox assemblies, auxiliary power units, and mission-critical aviation subsystems. Their role ensures operational readiness by facilitating the restoration of high-performance components to like-new condition, directly supporting the agency’s mission to mitigate obsolescence and extend service life without full replacement. Poll handles competitive and sole-source acquisitions under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, often navigating technical specifications tied to military standards such as MIL-SPEC and SAE AS9100. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented, Poll’s procurement activity consistently engages aerospace remanufacturing specialists, Tier 1 defense suppliers, and certified repair stations with expertise in turbine and mechanical power systems. Their working relationships reflect a preference for vendors with AS9100 certification, FAA Part 145 repair station status, and demonstrated experience in reverse engineering obsolete components. Vendor partnerships are typically long-term, performance-based, and aligned with technical sustainment roadmaps developed in coordination with Air Force engineering teams. Though set-aside data is unavailable, Poll’s procurement approach aligns with DoD-wide mandates to prioritize small business participation, including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB certifications, particularly when technical capabilities permit. The agency’s emphasis on sustaining aging platforms creates natural opportunities for niche small businesses with specialized repair and remanufacturing expertise, suggesting a consistent, if not explicitly quantified, commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. The agency’s primary NAICS focus centers on 336413 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing) and 336414 (Aircraft Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with deep specialization in remanufacturing, component overhaul, and technical refresh of turbine-driven systems. Procurements involve precision machining, non-destructive testing, and metallurgical restoration techniques, reflecting a technical domain rooted in aerospace propulsion sustainment and lifecycle management.
