Mike Hohl

Mike Hohl serves as a key procurement lead within the FA8620 Aflcmc Wijk Big Safari organization, supporting the Department of Defense’s most sensitive airborne modernization initiatives. He manages the acquisition of classified, rapid-development systems tailored for special operations and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) platforms, including C-130 and MQ-9 variants. His work centers on bypassing traditional acquisition timelines to deliver mission-critical avionics, sensor integrations, secure communications suites, and custom mission electronics under tight operational constraints. Hohl’s role is instrumental in enabling agile capability insertion, ensuring that cutting-edge technologies are fielded swiftly and securely to support high-priority national security missions. Hohl’s contracting patterns reflect deep collaboration with a select group of defense technology firms specializing in classified systems integration, electronic warfare, and secure data link development. He routinely engages with Tier-1 defense primes and niche engineering contractors possessing TS/SCI clearances and experience in rapid prototyping environments. His partnerships are characterized by long-term, trust-based relationships built on technical credibility, compliance with stringent security protocols, and proven ability to deliver under accelerated schedules. Vendor selection prioritizes technical excellence and past performance in classified environments over cost alone. Hohl’s contracting portfolio is entirely unreserved, with 100% of procurements classified as “No Set-Aside,” reflecting the operational necessity of accessing specialized, cleared technical talent and proprietary capabilities not readily available through small business channels. While socioeconomic set-asides are not utilized, this reflects mission-critical constraints rather than a lack of small business engagement policy—it is a function of the unique, classified nature of the work. His primary focus lies in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), where he procures mission-specific software development, embedded systems programming, firmware customization, and real-time data processing solutions. He specializes in acquiring tailored software for sensor fusion, signal intelligence processing, and secure airborne networking—domains requiring deep expertise in DoD standards, cryptographic protocols, and aircraft integration architectures.
