Jonathan Reed serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force, supporting the acquisition of mission-critical aerospace and information systems essential to air superiority and space dominance. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on securing next-generation C5ISRT capabilities, cyber-enabled command and control infrastructure, and sustainment services for advanced avionics platforms. His work directly enables the Air Force’s modernization priorities by ensuring timely delivery of technologically sophisticated solutions that enhance operational readiness and global reach. Reed’s acquisitions span both developmental and logistical domains, often requiring rigorous technical evaluation and compliance with DoD acquisition regulations. He maintains consistent, high-impact relationships with prime defense contractors including The Boeing Company and Lockheed Martin Corporation, partnering with these industry leaders to deliver complex aerospace systems and integrated mission support services. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, leveraging established contract vehicles and performance-based service agreements to ensure technical fidelity and lifecycle sustainment. These partnerships are typically structured under full and open competition, with occasional use of Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) instruments to meet dynamic operational requirements. Reed demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with approximately 83% of his awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5.
