Jody M Ehrhardt

Jody M. Ehrhardt serves as a Contract Officer for the FA3016 502 Cons Cl under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain Air Force installation readiness. Specializing in professional and management development training services, Ehrhardt manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—to ensure alignment with Air Force workforce development and operational sustainment objectives. Their portfolio supports the modernization of training infrastructure and the delivery of specialized instructional services essential to maintaining Air Force personnel competency across technical and leadership domains. Ehrhardt maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of experienced contractors, including PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C, WILLIAM T BROOKS & ASSOCIATES INC, CITADEL FEDERAL SOLUTIONS LLC, NEXLEGACY LLC, and AJ COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC. These vendors are regularly engaged for their expertise in designing, delivering, and evaluating performance-based training programs tailored to military operational needs. The contracting relationships reflect a preference for proven, high-performing contractors with demonstrated capability in adult learning methodologies, curriculum development, and government compliance frameworks. Ehrhardt demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 66.7% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to foster competition among small businesses and expand economic opportunity within the defense contracting ecosystem. While no other socioeconomic set-asides are predominant, the consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a proactive approach to meeting statutory goals and enhancing innovation through diverse vendor engagement. The sole NAICS focus area is 611430—Professional and Management Development Training—indicating a highly specialized procurement domain. Ehrhardt’s acquisitions center on customized leadership development, technical skills training, instructional design, and performance support systems for Air Force personnel. This specialization requires deep familiarity with DoD training standards, performance-based acquisition methods, and outcome-driven evaluation criteria to ensure training investments directly enhance mission readiness.
