Marty Bost

Marty Bost serves as a Contract Specialist within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to secure and modernize the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on network modernization, secure virtual private network deployment, and telecommunications support services, ensuring resilient, high-capacity connectivity across military and federal operations. His work directly supports DISA’s mandate to sustain and expand mission-enabling telecom systems through compliant, efficient contracting practices aligned with federal acquisition regulations. Bost maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These partnerships reflect a blend of large, experienced telecommunications providers and specialized firms capable of delivering secure, scalable infrastructure solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical interoperability, and lifecycle support, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in compliance and mission alignment. A strong advocate for small business participation, Bost prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately two-thirds of his acquisitions structured to promote small business engagement. This reflects a deliberate strategy to broaden the supplier base, enhance innovation, and meet statutory socioeconomic goals without compromising mission readiness. His contracting patterns consistently favor small business eligibility over no set-aside, reinforcing a culture of inclusive procurement. His primary NAICS focus includes 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings), 493110 (General Warehousing and Storage), 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), 238330 (Flooring Contractors), and 423830 (Industrial Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers), indicating a broad yet targeted procurement scope spanning facility support, logistics, technical consulting, and specialized equipment distribution. This reflects his expertise in procuring integrated services that underpin secure, operational-ready telecommunications environments.
