John S Lingamfelter

John S. Lingamfelter serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8672 AFLCMC EBDM, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to modernize and sustain precision-guided munitions systems. He manages complex acquisitions for small diameter bomb families and next-generation ordnance technologies, ensuring technical readiness and operational capability for air dominance platforms. His work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from requirements validation and source selection to contract execution and performance oversight—focusing on high-priority weapon system sustainment and obsolescence mitigation. Lingamfelter’s portfolio is critical to maintaining the Air Force’s tactical advantage through reliable, advanced munitions capabilities. Lingamfelter collaborates with a network of defense industrial base contractors specializing in munitions manufacturing, guidance system integration, and aircraft ordnance compatibility. He works closely with prime contractors possessing Class 10 explosives handling certifications and DoD 5000-compliant quality management systems, fostering long-term partnerships built on technical rigor and supply chain resilience. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical interoperability, and lifecycle support, ensuring seamless integration of munitions into existing and emerging air platforms. Lingamfelter’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions designated as non-set-aside. While he does not routinely utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his contracting decisions prioritize technical capability, production scalability, and mission-critical reliability over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the high-stakes nature of ordnance procurement. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332993 (Ammunition Manufacturing) and 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in guided bomb components, warhead systems, fuzing mechanisms, and air-launched weapon integration. He routinely procures precision-guided munitions, inert training rounds, and associated logistics support services, requiring specialized knowledge in explosive safety standards, MIL-STD compliance, and defense supply chain security protocols.
