Joshua Regans

Joshua Regans serves as a key procurement lead within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to modernize airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and test instrumentation systems. He manages acquisitions for high-precision avionics, electronic warfare, radar, and signal intelligence platforms, ensuring the integration of advanced measurement and control systems critical to aerospace test and evaluation readiness. His work directly enables the development of next-generation tactical sensor suites and electromagnetic compatibility infrastructure, aligning procurement strategy with operational requirements for mission-critical aerospace systems. Regans maintains consistent relationships with specialized contractors including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche engineering firms capable of delivering custom test equipment, ruggedized electronics, signal conditioning hardware, and specialized instrumentation systems. His contracting patterns emphasize technical specificity over volume, favoring vendors with proven expertise in aerospace-grade components and field-deployable test solutions. A strong advocate for small business participation, Regans consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately two-thirds of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate innovation from agile, technically proficient vendors while meeting statutory socioeconomic goals. His portfolio rarely employs full and open competition, underscoring a structured commitment to expanding the defense industrial base through targeted set-asides. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), where he acquires precision sensor arrays and signal processing hardware adapted for military use, and NAICS 333310 (Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing), where he procures custom test benches and automated calibration systems. These categories reveal deep technical expertise in electromechanical instrumentation, RF test apparatus, and embedded control systems essential to aerospace evaluation environments.
