Mark A. Brock

Mark A. Brock serves as a Contracting Officer for FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages the acquisition of critical test and evaluation infrastructure for airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and electronic warfare systems. His portfolio centers on procuring specialized instrumentation, avionics integration, and electromagnetic compatibility solutions essential to aerospace mission readiness. Brock ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement strategies with the agency’s modernization goals for test and evaluation capabilities, emphasizing technical precision and mission-critical performance requirements. He maintains consistent relationships with a select group of contractors, including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC, all of which provide specialized engineering, construction, and instrumentation services. His contracting approach reflects a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in complex test systems and facility upgrades, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in technical reliability and regulatory compliance rather than frequent vendor rotation. Brock’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his portfolio, his awards reflect a merit-based selection process centered on vendor qualifications and system performance. His primary procurement focus is under NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), which in this context supports the design and installation of environmental control systems for sensitive test facilities housing avionics and signal intelligence equipment. This reflects a specialized application of HVAC and facility infrastructure contracting to ensure precise thermal and electromagnetic stability for high-fidelity aerospace testing environments.
