Douglas E. Pohlman serves as a key procurement professional within FA7037 AMIC Det 2 JBISA, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to modernize secure communications, software-defined radio systems, and integrated command and control infrastructure. He manages the acquisition of specialized engineering and maintenance services critical to sustaining air operations platforms, with a focus on ensuring interoperability, cyber resilience, and readiness of mission-critical systems. His contracting portfolio centers on complex technical support contracts requiring deep domain expertise in avionics, radio frequency systems, and field-deployable communications equipment. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available records, Pohlman’s procurement patterns reflect a consistent reliance on a network of qualified vendors capable of delivering high-integrity maintenance, repair, and technical services for classified and unclassified military hardware. His working relationships emphasize vendors with proven experience in field-level sustainment of military-grade communications systems, often requiring ITAR compliance, security clearances, and specialized certifications in defense electronics repair. Pohlman demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of his acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient, agile supplier base capable of rapid response and tailored support for expeditionary operations.
