Joshua A Kena

Joshua A. Kena supports the procurement mission of the FA8601 AFLCMC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, managing complex acquisitions of high-precision aerospace instrumentation, electromedical devices, and industrial measurement systems critical to flight testing and environmental monitoring. His work ensures airpower readiness by securing laboratory-grade analytical equipment and mission-critical maintenance services that underpin technical validation and operational sustainability. He handles a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning technical services, equipment leasing, and specialized security systems, aligning acquisitions with Air Force scientific and logistical requirements. Kena maintains a consistent working relationship with C MARTIN CO INC, a key vendor providing specialized instrumentation and calibration services. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical reliability and compliance with federal procurement standards. He engages with suppliers capable of delivering certified, traceable equipment and services that meet stringent military and aerospace specifications, fostering collaboration with firms possessing deep domain expertise in electrotherapeutic and analytical systems. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. While the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors, he actively prioritizes small business eligibility in acquisitions where technical capacity and market availability permit, aligning with Air Force directives to broaden supplier diversity. Kena’s primary NAICS focus areas include 611310 for professional training and technical education services, 532411 for the leasing of specialized aerospace and electro-mechanical equipment, and 561621 for integrated security systems services. These reflect his technical domain expertise in acquiring not just hardware, but also the operational support infrastructure—calibration, training, and physical security—that enables sustained mission capability across Air Force test and evaluation environments.
