Joseph D. Freeland

Joseph D. Freeland serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages the acquisition of critical test and evaluation systems essential to aerospace mission readiness. His portfolio focuses on procuring advanced sensing, communication, and instrumentation technologies for avionics, electronic warfare, and signal intelligence platforms. Freeland ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while supporting the modernization of test infrastructure and the integration of high-precision measurement systems. He routinely handles complex, technical procurements involving custom engineering solutions, specialized hardware, and mission-critical software integrations. Freeland maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in electromagnetic systems, ruggedized instrumentation, and field-deployable test equipment. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical fidelity, often requiring vendors to demonstrate domain-specific experience in aerospace test environments and DoD compliance standards. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, Freeland demonstrates a notable commitment to small business participation, with approximately 31.8% of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He actively leverages small business capabilities without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, favoring broad-based competition among qualified small firms. His procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) and 333993 (Packaging Machinery Manufacturing), with additional emphasis on 334220 (Radio and Wireless Communications Equipment) and 811412 (Appliance Repair and Maintenance). These reflect a technical portfolio spanning embedded systems, test instrumentation, field maintenance tools, and specialized RF components used in airborne and ground-based defense platforms.
