Jeffrey W. Braddock

Jeffrey W. Braddock serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4417 1 Socons under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in acquiring mission-critical communications, navigation, and base defense systems that sustain and modernize airpower capabilities. His procurement activities center on securing advanced radio and wireless infrastructure, aeronautical systems, and integrated security technologies essential to operational resilience. Braddock manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with Air Force strategic priorities. He maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including AANTILIA LLC, MARRERO, COUVILLON & ASSOCIATES, L.L.C., MATTHES PARKER LLC, L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, and WALCO ENTERPRISES INC., many of which provide specialized engineering, logistics, and technical support services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade communications and infrastructure, fostering reliable, long-term partnerships that ensure system interoperability and mission readiness. Braddock exhibits a balanced approach to socioeconomic set-asides, with approximately half of his acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to small business participation. While he does not exclusively favor 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB categories, his portfolio consistently integrates small business capabilities, reinforcing the Air Force’s broader goals of broadening the defense industrial base. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611710 (Educational Support Services), reflecting a significant need for technical training and workforce development in defense systems, alongside NAICS 332312 (Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing) and 561110 (Office Administrative Services). This blend underscores his role in acquiring both physical infrastructure and administrative support essential to sustaining complex air operations.
