Charles Cryoskie

Charles Cryoskie serves as a key procurement lead within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to advance airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and test instrumentation systems. He manages acquisitions for high-precision avionics, electronic warfare, radar, and signal intelligence platforms, ensuring the integration of cutting-edge measurement and control technologies critical to aerospace mission readiness. His portfolio emphasizes modernization of test and evaluation infrastructure, with a focus on procurement of complex technical systems requiring rigorous certification and interoperability standards. Cryoskie maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for specialized vendors capable of delivering custom instrumentation, electromagnetic compatibility solutions, and mission-critical hardware integration. His contracting approach prioritizes technical capability over volume, fostering long-term collaborations with firms demonstrating proven expertise in aerospace test environments and field-deployable systems. His procurement patterns show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 88.9% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, reflecting a mission-driven need for rapid access to specialized technical capabilities. However, he maintains a deliberate 11.1% allocation to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a measured but active commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical performance requirements. Cryoskie’s primary NAICS focus includes 334513 (industrial process instrumentation), 334516 (analytical laboratory instruments), 334220 (wireless communications equipment), and 334511 (aeronautical and navigation systems), underscoring deep technical expertise in sensor development, signal processing, and avionics testbeds. His acquisitions consistently target ruggedized, high-reliability systems used in live-fire testing, electromagnetic spectrum management, and real-time data acquisition environments.
