Glenn Poole

Glenn A. Poole serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for complex aerospace and aviation systems. He plays a critical role in ensuring mission-critical procurement activities align with federal contracting regulations, particularly under FAR Part 15 and Part 19. His portfolio primarily encompasses the procurement of aircraft components, auxiliary equipment, and related engineering services, supporting national defense and aviation infrastructure objectives. Poole leverages competitive solicitation strategies, including sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions, to secure high-integrity technical solutions from qualified vendors while maintaining strict compliance with federal acquisition standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Poole’s contracting patterns indicate consistent engagement with manufacturers specializing in aerospace systems, including tiered suppliers of avionics, propulsion components, and airframe subsystems. He fosters collaborative relationships with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, emphasizing performance-based contracting and clear deliverable specifications. His approach prioritizes technical capability, supply chain resilience, and timely delivery, ensuring acquisitions meet stringent aerospace quality and safety requirements. Poole demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 84.1% of his awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, he actively supports small business participation, with 13.8% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Smaller portions of his portfolio support HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns, reflecting a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission needs. His contracting decisions consistently align with federal small business policy while maintaining competitive integrity. His technical expertise centers on NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), which accounts for over 90% of his acquisitions. He routinely procures specialized components such as flight control systems, landing gear assemblies, and non-engine aviation electronics. His domain knowledge extends to aircraft manufacturing (336411) and engine parts (336412), positioning him as a subject matter expert in aerospace procurement within the federal acquisition community.
