John J. Bohner

John J. Bohner serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, where he plays a pivotal role in acquiring advanced aviation systems critical to fleet readiness and air superiority. He manages the full lifecycle of complex procurements spanning research and development, avionics integration, and mission-critical subsystems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with the Navy’s modernization priorities. His portfolio primarily supports the development and sustainment of airborne sensor suites, electronic warfare systems, and next-generation aircraft instrumentation, bridging technical requirements with contractual execution to deliver mission-ready capabilities. Bohner maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, The Boeing Company, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, SYSTEMS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS, INC., and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-technical-capability vendors capable of delivering integrated avionics, signal processing hardware, and specialized aircraft components. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and technical risk mitigation, often engaging these firms through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions under firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement structures. His contracting patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 81.1% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. While small business participation remains a secondary focus, he consistently supports Total Small Business Set-Asides at 16.2% and occasionally awards to Women-Owned Small Businesses, reflecting a balanced approach that prioritizes technical capability while maintaining statutory small business goals. Bohner’s primary NAICS focus areas include R&D in physical and engineering sciences, instrument manufacturing for electrical signal testing, and the production of aeronautical navigation and guidance systems. He routinely procures sophisticated avionics, radar and communications hardware, flight control interfaces, and auxiliary aircraft equipment, demonstrating deep expertise in airborne systems integration and electronic warfare technology domains.
