Justin T. Fobel

Justin T. Fobel serves as the primary contracting representative for FA9304 AFTC PZZ, a critical unit within the Department of the Air Force focused on advancing flight training systems and test evaluation infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on aviation systems development, mission-critical instrumentation, and pilot proficiency training environments. His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts that support the modernization of flight simulation technologies, avionics testing platforms, and professional development training programs essential to the Air Force’s test pilot and aerospace engineering missions. Fobel’s work directly enables the sustainment of high-fidelity training ecosystems and the integration of next-generation aerospace instrumentation. Fobel maintains a consistent working relationship with SLM CONTRACT FURNITURE, INC., primarily for specialized training facility equipment and mission-critical workspace configurations. While this vendor represents a dominant partner, his procurement approach reflects a broader engagement with technical suppliers and service providers across the aerospace and defense ecosystem. His contracting patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in aviation support, though he actively incorporates small business participation through competitive set-asides. Fobel demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 22.7% of his awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He does not routinely utilize specialized socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, instead favoring broad small business competition to ensure innovation and cost-effectiveness. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach that prioritizes capability while promoting market-wide access for qualified small firms. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611512 (Flight Training) and 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), with significant activity in aerospace instrumentation manufacturing (334511, 334515) and electronic parts distribution (423690). He routinely acquires flight simulators, data acquisition systems, avionics test suites, and training curriculum development services, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical domains of aviation systems integration and pilot readiness infrastructure.
