Kenny M Kendrick

Kenny M. Kendrick serves as a key procurement lead within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to develop and sustain advanced airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and test instrumentation systems. He manages acquisitions for high-precision measurement and control technologies critical to avionics, electronic warfare, radar, and signal intelligence platforms, ensuring the readiness and modernization of aerospace test and evaluation infrastructure. His portfolio centers on technical systems requiring rigorous calibration, electromagnetic compatibility, and real-time data acquisition capabilities, often involving custom-engineered hardware and integrated software solutions. Kendrick maintains consistent contracting relationships with specialized vendors 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 niche suppliers with proven expertise in precision instrumentation, electromagnetic shielding, ruggedized test platforms, and mission-critical control systems. His contracting approach emphasizes technical capability over volume, favoring vendors with deep domain knowledge in aerospace test environments and validated track records in delivering compliant, field-deployable systems. Kendrick’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-critical focus on technical performance and rapid system integration over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing capability, schedule, and compliance with DoD technical standards. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, vendors in his portfolio often possess small business status due to the specialized nature of the required technologies. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), and 334510 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing), though these categories are leveraged for their overlap with aerospace-grade sensor and signal conditioning systems. Kendrick specializes in procuring analytical laboratory instruments, electromagnetic test equipment, and high-fidelity data acquisition hardware—applications where precision, repeatability, and environmental resilience are non-negotiable.
