James Medlang

James Medlang serves as a key procurement lead within the FA5215 766 Ess Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain airpower readiness through technical and operational support services. He specializes in contracting for computer training and workforce development solutions critical to maintaining mission-critical air operations. His portfolio focuses exclusively on ensuring personnel are equipped with advanced technical competencies in secure communications, cybersecurity awareness, and digital systems proficiency, directly supporting the agency’s modernization and readiness objectives. Medlang operates within a highly structured acquisition environment governed by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) standards, consistently aligning procurements with strategic Air Force digital transformation goals. His primary contracting relationship is with ARCTEC ALASKA JV, a joint venture frequently selected to deliver comprehensive computer training services tailored to military-specific operational environments. While other contractors are engaged, their participation remains minimal, indicating a strong reliance on a single, vetted vendor with proven capability in delivering scalable, secure, and mission-aligned training solutions. Medlang’s working relationships reflect a preference for established partners with demonstrated experience in DoD compliance, curriculum development for technical specialties, and rapid deployment of training infrastructure across remote or expeditionary bases. Medlang maintains a 100% commitment to Small Business Set-Aside procurement under FAR 19.5, ensuring all acquisitions are reserved exclusively for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate and consistent socioeconomic strategy to foster innovation and capacity building within the small business community, particularly those qualified to deliver specialized educational and workforce development services to federal defense entities. His procurement activity is entirely focused on NAICS 611420 — Computer Training — encompassing curriculum design, instructor-led and virtual training delivery, simulation-based learning platforms, and certification preparation programs. He exclusively procures services that enhance digital literacy, cybersecurity fundamentals, and system-specific operational training for Air Force personnel, demonstrating deep expertise in workforce enablement within technical defense domains.
