Jamir Folsom

Jamir Folsom serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the FA4419 agency of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the sustainment and modernization of critical aerospace infrastructure and aircraft maintenance systems. Though not the primary contracting officer, Folsom plays a vital role in facilitating acquisition planning, vendor coordination, and contract execution for mission-critical aviation components. Their work ensures timely procurement of specialized parts and auxiliary equipment essential to maintaining operational readiness across Air Force aircraft fleets. Folsom typically handles complex, technical acquisitions aligned with long-term sustainment strategies, working closely with primary contracting teams to align requirements with industrial capabilities. Folsom’s procurement activities are heavily centered on coordinated engagements with Coordinated Defense Supply Systems, Inc., a key supplier of certified aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment. This partnership reflects a consistent reliance on a single, trusted vendor with deep expertise in aerospace component logistics and reverse-engineered legacy systems. The working relationship is characterized by long-term contract performance, technical alignment, and repeat procurement cycles, indicating a high degree of vendor reliability and regulatory compliance in meeting military specification standards. Folsom’s acquisition portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of procurements conducted under full and open competition. This indicates a strategic emphasis on technical capability and supply chain resilience over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing mission-critical performance and availability over small business set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. The agency’s procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—reflecting deep technical specialization in non-airframe aerospace components, including avionics support hardware, maintenance tooling, and mission-specific auxiliary systems. Folsom’s expertise lies in sourcing precision-engineered, military-qualified parts that meet stringent DO-160 and MIL-STD specifications, ensuring compatibility with legacy and next-generation aircraft platforms.
