TSgt Thomas Rohr

TSgt Thomas Rohr serves as a Contracting Officer for the 379th Expeditionary Contracting Squadron (FA5702) under the Department of the Air Force, where he is responsible for managing mission-critical acquisition programs that sustain air base operations at expeditionary and overseas installations. His portfolio centers on facility sustainment, logistical enablers, and operational readiness support, with a primary focus on food service contracts to ensure the nutritional and welfare needs of deployed personnel are met. Rohr executes full lifecycle procurement activities—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR, DFARS, and Air Force-specific guidance while aligning acquisitions with strategic readiness objectives. Rohr maintains consistent working relationships with a network of qualified food service contractors who provide dining facility operations, meal preparation, and catering services under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and fixed-price arrangements. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based service acquisition (PBSA) principles, prioritizing contractor accountability through clear statement of work (SOW) development and outcome-driven evaluation criteria. He collaborates closely with base operations, logistics, and force support squadrons to align contract requirements with real-time operational demands. Rohr’s procurement profile reflects a 100% non-set-aside preference, indicating a focus on full and open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his portfolio, he ensures all solicitations are structured to allow equitable access for all qualified vendors, adhering strictly to fair and transparent procurement practices. His primary NAICS specialization is 722310 (Food Service Contractors), reflecting deep expertise in managing complex dining operations across austere environments. He procures comprehensive food service solutions including meal planning, inventory management, sanitation compliance, and mobile field feeding systems, demonstrating technical proficiency in defense logistics and expeditionary sustainment domains.
