Christopher Serbe

Christopher Serbe serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages the acquisition of advanced aerospace test and evaluation systems critical to mission readiness. His portfolio focuses on procuring high-precision instrumentation for avionics, electronic warfare, radar, and signal intelligence platforms, ensuring alignment with modernization priorities in electromagnetic spectrum dominance and airborne sensing. He handles competitive and non-competitive contracts under FAR Part 15, with an emphasis on performance-based requirements and technical specifications for complex defense systems. Serbe maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche technical capabilities in sensor integration, ruggedized electronics, and mission-critical infrastructure support. His contracting approach prioritizes responsive, agile vendors capable of delivering customized hardware and software solutions under tight developmental timelines, often involving rapid prototyping and field validation cycles. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted without set-asides (57.9%), Serbe demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over one-third of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and a notable 5.3% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. His procurement patterns reflect a deliberate effort to foster innovation through small business engagement while maintaining technical rigor in mission-critical domains. His primary NAICS focus includes 336612 (Boat Building) and 113310 (Logging), which appear to reflect unconventional or misclassified procurement activity; however, his core technical expertise lies in 333517 (Machine Tool Manufacturing) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), indicating a strong alignment with precision manufacturing and embedded systems development. He procures ruggedized test equipment, signal conditioning hardware, and mission-specific software tools supporting aerospace test ranges and electronic warfare evaluation.
