Benjamin T. Albers

Benjamin T. Albers serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4830 23 Cons Cc unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain airborne operational readiness. He oversees the acquisition of mission-critical communications systems, aviation safety equipment, and full-mission training solutions, ensuring alignment with Air Force modernization priorities. His portfolio emphasizes technical procurement of wireless infrastructure, auxiliary aircraft components, and facility support services essential to base operations, with a focus on delivering reliable, interoperable systems under strict defense standards. Albers maintains consistent contracting relationships with a core group of specialized vendors including ARDMORE CONSULTING GROUP, INC, MACHINE TOOL MARKETING INC, GOVAGE, INC., DARK WATERS ENTERPRISING, LLC, and TESTFORCE USA, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in defense-grade communications, training system integration, and niche electrical and aviation component manufacturing. His contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes and technical compliance, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in quality assurance and mission alignment. While the majority of his acquisitions—75.2%—are conducted without set-asides, Albers demonstrates a meaningful commitment to small business participation, with 24.8% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate effort to engage capable small firms in supporting critical defense capabilities without compromising operational requirements or supply chain resilience. His primary NAICS focus areas include 334220 for radio and wireless communications equipment, 611710 for educational and simulation-based training support, 336413 for aircraft auxiliary components, and 238210 for electrical installation services. These reflect deep technical expertise in procuring systems that enable secure airborne communications, pilot training fidelity, and infrastructure integrity across expeditionary and garrison environments.
