Eric L. Sjoblom

Erick Sjoblom serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-apg organization under the Department of the Army, supporting the development and fielding of advanced aeronautical and battlefield sensing systems. He manages acquisitions critical to modernizing tactical communications, radio frequency platforms, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. His portfolio primarily encompasses complex engineering and manufacturing contracts for specialized military instrumentation, ensuring that fielded systems meet rigorous performance standards for airborne and ground-based operations. Sjoblom works closely with technical stakeholders to translate operational requirements into solicitation language, ensuring compliance with defense acquisition regulations and technical specifications. His contractor relationships are centered on Tier 1 aerospace and defense manufacturers with proven expertise in aeronautical instrumentation and RF system integration. While no single vendor dominates his award profile, he consistently engages firms with deep domain knowledge in avionics, sensor fusion, and secure data link technologies. Sjoblom favors vendors with established track records in military certification, including ITAR compliance and MIL-STD testing, fostering long-term partnerships built on technical reliability and rapid prototyping capabilities. Sjoblom’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of procurements conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible pool of technical capability, particularly for high-complexity systems requiring specialized engineering resources. While socioeconomic set-asides are not utilized, his office maintains strict adherence to fair and transparent procurement practices aligned with Department of Defense acquisition policy. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 for other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, with significant activity in NAICS 334511 for aeronautical navigation and guidance systems and NAICS 334290 for advanced communications equipment. He specializes in procuring hardened avionics, real-time data analytics platforms, and secure RF transceivers tailored for expeditionary military operations, demonstrating deep technical fluency in battlefield sensor networks and tactical communications architectures.
