Steve Renfroe

Steve Renfroe serves as a secondary contracting professional within the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s FA8517 PZAAC organization, supporting the sustainment and modernization of mission-critical aerospace systems. He plays a key role in facilitating the procurement of precision-engineered components, avionics, and specialized maintenance services essential to maintaining operational readiness of Air Force aircraft platforms, particularly in ejection seat systems, flight control instrumentation, and electrical test equipment. His work centers on complex technical acquisitions requiring rigorous engineering validation and compliance with military specifications, ensuring timely delivery of high-reliability parts for legacy and next-generation platforms. Renfroe’s procurement activities are heavily aligned with BAE SYSTEMS INFORMATION AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS INTEGRATION INC., a primary contractor for advanced electronic integration, avionics repair, and mission-critical component manufacturing. His contracting patterns reflect long-standing, technically intensive partnerships with defense-industrial base vendors capable of meeting stringent aerospace quality and traceability standards. These relationships are typically governed by indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and cost-reimbursement contracts requiring deep domain expertise in military-grade electronics and mechanical systems. His contracting portfolio exhibits a strong preference for open competition, with 85.9% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting the specialized nature and low supplier base for high-precision aerospace components. Small business participation is modest but intentional, with 11.3% allocated to total small business set-asides and minor portions reserved for 8(a) and women-owned firms, indicating a balanced approach that prioritizes technical capability while maintaining compliance with socioeconomic goals. The agency’s procurement focus is dominated by NAICS 811219 (electronic equipment repair and maintenance) and 334515 (instrument manufacturing for electrical signals), underscoring expertise in avionics diagnostics, calibration, and repair of flight-critical instrumentation. Additional activity in 336413 and 811210 highlights sustained demand for aircraft subsystems and precision maintenance services, reinforcing Renfroe’s technical proficiency in aerospace systems lifecycle support.
