Tim Borroum

Tim Borroum serves as a Contracting Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical professional services that sustain and modernize Air Force operational readiness. He specializes in the procurement of systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), enterprise IT modernization, cybersecurity infrastructure, and mission analytics services. His role is central to aligning contracting actions with the agency’s strategic priorities, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while enabling rapid deployment of technical capabilities to support air and space domain superiority. Borroum maintains strong, ongoing relationships with key contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, partnering with firms that deliver high-caliber technical expertise in defense-critical domains. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and other flexible contract types to meet evolving operational needs. He works closely with these contractors to ensure performance excellence, compliance with security protocols, and seamless integration of solutions into complex Air Force ecosystems. A defining feature of Borroum’s contracting portfolio is his exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Aside authority under FAR 19.5, reflecting an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. Every acquisition he manages is structured to maximize opportunities for small businesses, ensuring that innovative, agile vendors—particularly those with niche technical capabilities—can compete and contribute directly to national defense objectives. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient, diverse supplier base aligned with Air Force innovation priorities. His procurement focus is singularly concentrated on NAICS Code 517919, which encompasses other telecommunications services and specialized technical support solutions. He primarily acquires advanced IT services, cloud-enabled analytics, cybersecurity operations support, and systems integration services tailored to mission-critical environments. His domain expertise lies in securing and modernizing the Air Force’s digital infrastructure through contractor-provided technical assistance that meets stringent DoD compliance and interoperability standards.
