Devin Samora

Devin Samora serves as a key procurement lead within the FA9401 377 Msg Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical aerospace and defense systems. Focused on sustaining and modernizing air force operational capabilities, Samora manages contracts for advanced instrumentation, electronic warfare support, secure communications infrastructure, and laboratory-grade analytical equipment. Their work directly enables the readiness of sensor systems and fluid power components essential to air dominance and mission-critical testing environments, aligning with the agency’s strategic imperatives in next-generation aerospace technology. Samora maintains consistent procurement relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including J STAR ENTERPRISES INC, LARON, LLC, FIVEBYFIVE, LLC, VISION DISTRIBUTORS LLC, and Boh Environmental, L.L.C. These vendors are primarily engaged for their technical expertise in manufacturing precision fluid power actuators, custom instrumentation, and ruggedized environmental control systems. The contracting pattern reflects a preference for established small business partners with proven capabilities in niche defense supply chains, fostering long-term, performance-driven vendor relationships grounded in technical compliance and rapid responsiveness. A defining feature of Samora’s procurement strategy is the exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Aside authority under FAR 19.5, with 100% of solicitations reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate and unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, ensuring that small, innovative firms—particularly those with specialized engineering or manufacturing capabilities—have equitable access to high-impact defense opportunities without competition from large businesses. The primary NAICS classification under Samora’s purview is 333995 (Fluid Power Cylinder and Actuator Manufacturing), indicating deep specialization in the procurement of hydraulic and pneumatic actuation systems used in aerospace test stands, flight control simulations, and sensor deployment platforms. Their technical domain expertise centers on ruggedized, high-reliability fluid power components critical to environmental testing, electronic warfare calibration, and flight hardware integration, making them a vital conduit for advancing Air Force testing and evaluation infrastructure.
