Jerry L Mann

Jerry L Mann serves as a procurement professional within the FA2550 50 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the acquisition of mission-critical aerospace and space infrastructure. His responsibilities center on managing contracts for advanced communications systems, electronic instrumentation, and ground-based support structures essential to national defense space operations. He routinely handles complex procurements involving satellite telecommunications, radio and wireless equipment, and specialized construction for communication line installations, ensuring alignment with Air Force modernization priorities and technical readiness requirements. Mann maintains contracting relationships with a diverse set of vendors, including the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment and Blue Skies Furniture LLC, indicating a broad scope of non-traditional and cross-sector engagement. While some partnerships reflect unusual vendor alignments, his portfolio suggests a pragmatic approach to sourcing, prioritizing capability and compliance over conventional industry boundaries. His working relationships appear to be driven by functional need rather than industry silos, with an emphasis on securing specialized services that meet stringent defense standards. His contracting patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 61.1% of awards issued without set-asides. However, he consistently supports small business participation, allocating 22.2% of awards to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 11.1% to HUBZone firms, reflecting a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission requirements. Women-owned small businesses also receive targeted consideration, accounting for 5.6% of awards. Mann’s primary NAICS focus includes 237130 for power and communication line construction, 334220 for wireless communications equipment manufacturing, and 517410 for satellite telecommunications. His expertise lies in procuring hardened, high-reliability systems for space and defense applications, with additional involvement in roofing and facility infrastructure to support operational sites. His domain knowledge spans both electronic systems and physical infrastructure critical to sustaining the space domain awareness mission.
