Episode 42: meet AFLCMC's small business program office

In this discussion, we talk with Luke Schultz who is AFLCMC’s small business program office director. Schultz walks us through how his team of 14 small business professionals is working to support the warfighter by encouraging program offices to seek and consider small businesses when they are developing their acquisition strategies. Schultz brings a deep level of experience to the job from his years of work in contracting and cost analysis and is uniquely qualified to provide advice and counsel on both sides of the negotiating table, helping to secure opportunities for small business owners throughout the country. Schultz explains that his team runs a wide spectrum of engagement activities so all parties are aware of what the others can offer, such as mentoring small businesses on how to interpret contracting requirements, advising program offices when small businesses are available options, and learning from the Small Business Administration when companies are interested in Air Force partnerships.
