Randall Egbert

Randall Egbert serves as the primary contracting lead for the FA8227 unit within the Department of the Air Force, overseeing the acquisition of specialized aerospace test, measurement, and industrial infrastructure critical to flight systems readiness and weapons system sustainment. His role involves managing the full lifecycle of procurements for high-precision instrumentation, advanced manufacturing equipment, and mission-critical test platforms used in aircraft and missile development. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract strategies with the agency’s mission to maintain operational integrity across the aerospace test ecosystem. Egbert maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including North Star Imaging Incorporated and Thermo Electron North America LLC, both of which provide advanced imaging systems and irradiation apparatuses essential for non-destructive evaluation and materials analysis. His procurement approach emphasizes technical precision and long-term sustainment, favoring vendors with proven expertise in aerospace-grade instrumentation and specialized repair services. These partnerships are built on technical reliability and performance history rather than volume-based contracting. His contracting portfolio reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with 38.5% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, Egbert actively prioritizes qualified small businesses capable of delivering niche technical solutions in precision equipment repair, industrial maintenance, and specialized manufacturing—particularly those with expertise in electronic and precision equipment servicing. His primary NAICS focus areas include 336419 for guided missile and space vehicle components, 334517 for irradiation apparatuses, and 811210 and 811310 for electronic and industrial equipment repair and maintenance. These reflect a deep technical domain expertise in aerospace test infrastructure, where he procures custom-engineered systems requiring rigorous certification and lifecycle support, ensuring the Air Force’s test facilities remain at the forefront of developmental and sustainment operations.
