Thomas Kloehn

Thomas Kloehn serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-apg Natick office under the Department of the Army, specializing in the acquisition of advanced soldier systems and mission-critical medical equipment. He oversees the sourcing of surgical appliances and specialized biomedical devices essential for battlefield medical support, ensuring warfighters are equipped with flame-resistant gear, life-sustaining instrumentation, and protective medical technologies. His acquisitions align with the agency’s mission to enhance soldier survivability through innovation in wearable health tech and field-deployable medical systems, making him central to the Army’s modernization efforts in individual soldier capabilities. Kloehn maintains consistent contracting relationships with EPERNAY DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION LLC and TEVET LLC, both of which provide high-precision manufacturing and technical services for specialized medical and protective equipment. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in FDA-regulated medical device production and defense-grade material engineering. His procurement approach emphasizes technical compliance, rigorous performance validation, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure reliability under extreme operational conditions. His contracting portfolio shows a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and rapid delivery over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the urgency and precision required in battlefield medical procurement. Kloehn’s acquisitions are exclusively focused on NAICS 339113—Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing—encompassing custom-fabricated medical devices, trauma care systems, and wearable physiological monitors designed for combat environments. His domain expertise lies in the intersection of biomedical engineering and military operational requirements, ensuring procured systems meet stringent DoD standards for durability, sterility, and field usability. He works closely with engineering teams to translate soldier needs into precise technical specifications for industrial manufacturers.
