Mr. Chris Hebert

Mr. Chris Hebert serves as a key procurement lead within the Headquarters of Air Combat Command’s Acquisition Management Integration Center (FA4890), where he supports the Department of the Air Force’s mission to sustain and modernize air dominance capabilities. He manages complex acquisition programs focused on advanced training systems, command and control infrastructure, and mission-critical technical services that enhance pilot readiness, surveillance effectiveness, and tactical communications. His work directly enables combat-ready forces by ensuring timely delivery of integrated, high-performance solutions aligned with Air Combat Command’s operational imperatives. Hebert maintains consistent contracting relationships with specialized contractors including VETPRIDE-EMI Maintenance Solutions, LLC, MILTRAIN JV II LLC, and JBW FEDITC JV LLC, all of which provide niche capabilities in aircraft maintenance support, synthetic training environments, and mission-critical systems integration. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical expertise, performance reliability, and mission alignment, rather than transactional engagements. These contractors are selected for their proven ability to deliver secure, scalable, and interoperable solutions under demanding operational conditions. Hebert’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside categories. This indicates a strategic focus on selecting the most capable providers regardless of socioeconomic designation, prioritizing mission need and technical superiority over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally targeted, his awards still frequently involve qualified small businesses that compete successfully on technical merit. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), accounting for 75% of his activity, which encompasses aircraft maintenance support, logistics coordination, and ground-based training infrastructure services. The remaining 25% centers on NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), reflecting his reliance on specialized engineering and systems integration consultants to support advanced avionics, simulation, and command system modernization efforts.
