Mark A. Brock

Mark A. Brock serves as a Contracting Officer for the FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages complex acquisitions for advanced airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and test instrumentation systems critical to aerospace mission readiness. His portfolio centers on procuring high-precision avionics, electronic warfare, radar, and signal intelligence platforms, ensuring the modernization of test and evaluation infrastructure. Brock is responsible for end-to-end contract lifecycle management, including solicitation, evaluation, award, and administration, with a focus on technical solutions that enhance electromagnetic compatibility, data integrity, and system interoperability across defense platforms. He maintains established working 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, reflecting a pattern of sustained partnerships with firms capable of delivering specialized engineering, fabrication, and system integration services. These relationships are built on technical reliability and performance consistency, with recurring engagements for niche hardware, test equipment, and mission-critical infrastructure support. Brock’s procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and nearly one-sixth awarded through 8(a) competed processes. While half of his acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of 8(a) and small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for disadvantaged and veteran-owned firms. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories including 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing), 336212 (Truck Trailer Manufacturing), and 324121 (Asphalt Paving Mixture and Block Manufacturing), indicating a unique blend of defense systems procurement alongside logistical and facility support needs. This reflects the agency’s dual emphasis on cutting-edge electronic systems and the physical infrastructure required to test and deploy them in operational environments.
