Jason D. Passarella

Jason D. Passarella serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA8601 AFLCMC PZIO office of the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a critical role in securing mission-critical aerospace and defense systems. He manages the acquisition of high-precision analytical instruments, electromedical and electrotherapeutic devices, and industrial measurement systems essential for flight testing, fuel analysis, and environmental monitoring. His work directly supports airpower readiness by ensuring timely procurement of laboratory-grade equipment and specialized maintenance services that sustain operational capabilities across test ranges and maintenance facilities. Passarella maintains a consistent working relationship with C MARTIN CO INC, a key vendor providing specialized instrumentation and technical support services. His contracting approach emphasizes reliable partnerships with vendors capable of delivering precision-engineered solutions under strict military specifications, often requiring compliance with MIL-STD and NIST-traceable calibration standards. He engages with a mix of established defense contractors and niche technical suppliers, prioritizing vendors with proven expertise in aerospace-grade instrumentation and regulatory compliance. His procurement portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of his actions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to all competitors. This approach ensures competitive fairness while actively fostering growth among small businesses capable of meeting the technical demands of aerospace and medical instrumentation procurement. Passarella’s primary NAICS focus includes surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing, miscellaneous health practitioners’ offices, and commercial building construction—reflecting a diverse but mission-aligned portfolio that spans biomedical equipment, facility upgrades for testing labs, and industrial maintenance infrastructure. His expertise lies at the intersection of healthcare technology, aerospace systems, and facility-based instrumentation, requiring deep familiarity with technical specifications, validation protocols, and defense acquisition regulations.
