Evan Port

Evan Port serves as a key procurement professional within the 763d Enterprise Sourcing Squadron of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the acquisition of mission-critical technology and services that sustain airpower readiness. Responsible for managing complex contracting actions across enterprise-level capabilities, Evan focuses on securing custom software solutions, flight training systems, and geospatial data services essential to pilot proficiency, communications resilience, and logistics agility. His work directly enables operational modernization by aligning acquisition strategies with the Air Force’s strategic imperatives in digital transformation and force readiness. Evan cultivates partnerships with a diverse range of vendors, primarily engaging firms specializing in custom computer programming, systems design, and specialized technical services. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently collaborates with both large prime contractors and niche technical providers capable of delivering secure, scalable solutions tailored to Air Force operational environments. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based acquisitions and firm-fixed-price contracts, emphasizing outcomes over inputs and encouraging innovation through competitive bidding. Evan’s procurement approach is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 95% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a focus on technical merit and mission alignment over socioeconomic preferences. Nevertheless, he maintains a deliberate 5% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring opportunities for qualified small businesses to contribute to high-priority technical missions without compromising capability standards. His primary industry focus lies in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), with significant activity in 541360 (Geophysical Surveying and Mapping Services) and 611512 (Flight Training). These reflect deep expertise in software development for mission systems, geospatial intelligence tools, and pilot training platforms, underscoring his technical acumen in defense-critical domains requiring cybersecurity compliance, real-time data integration, and interoperability with legacy Air Force architectures.
