Jason Gepperth

Jason Gepperth serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8615 Aflcmc Wamk F16, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing the F-16 fighter fleet. He manages acquisitions focused on advanced avionics integration, mission-critical component manufacturing, and engineering support services essential to maintaining combat readiness. His portfolio centers on the procurement of auxiliary aircraft systems, electronic warfare upgrades, and armament interface enhancements, ensuring legacy airframes remain operationally viable against evolving threats. Gepperth’s work directly supports the agency’s mission to extend the service life and technological relevance of the F-16 through targeted, high-integrity procurement actions. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Gepperth engages with a network of specialized aerospace and defense manufacturers capable of delivering precision-engineered components and systems compliant with military specifications such as MIL-STD and DO-160. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in airborne electronics, ruggedized hardware fabrication, and systems integration for tactical aircraft platforms. Partnerships are typically established with firms possessing relevant ITAR and AS9100 certifications, emphasizing supply chain reliability and technical compliance. Gepperth’s procurement activities exhibit no set-aside preferences, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven emphasis on technical capability and schedule certainty over socioeconomic classifications, though small businesses remain eligible and competitive within the open market. His primary focus lies within NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—where he procures specialized subsystems including radar warning receivers, data link modules, cockpit avionics upgrades, and structural interfaces. His technical domain expertise spans avionics architecture, electronic countermeasures, and aircraft systems interoperability, making him a pivotal figure in sustaining the F-16’s combat effectiveness through precise, standards-driven acquisition.
