Dr. Jonathon Brame (Technical POC)

Dr. Jonathon Brame serves as the Technical Point of Contact for the W6QK Acc-apg Durham unit under the Department of the Army (W911NF), where he plays a pivotal role in shaping and executing research and development acquisitions aligned with Army modernization priorities. He is deeply involved in the technical evaluation, requirement definition, and acquisition strategy for high-priority R&D initiatives in physical, engineering, and life sciences, with a focus on disruptive technologies such as autonomy, quantum sensing, and intelligence horizon scanning. His work ensures that scientific innovations are rapidly transitioned into operational capability through structured contracting pathways, bridging the gap between laboratory research and field-deployable solutions. Dr. Brame collaborates closely with a diverse ecosystem of academic institutions, federal laboratories, and defense contractors specializing in advanced scientific research. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he routinely engages with entities possessing deep expertise in systems integration, modeling and simulation, and experimental physics. His procurement approach emphasizes technical merit, innovation potential, and rapid prototyping capabilities, fostering partnerships that prioritize agility and mission alignment over traditional commercial delivery models. Dr. Brame’s acquisition portfolio reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of procurements designated as non-set-aside. This underscores a mission-driven preference for selecting the most technically capable performer regardless of socioeconomic status, though small businesses are not excluded—they compete on equal footing based on technical superiority and domain expertise. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541715, encompassing research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences. He routinely acquires services related to advanced materials characterization, autonomous system development, quantum algorithm prototyping, and sensor technology validation, supporting the Army’s next-generation scientific infrastructure and future force readiness.
