Aaron Romero

Aaron Romero serves as a contracting professional within the NNSA Non-MO Contracting Operations Division, supporting the Department of Energy’s national security mission through the acquisition of specialized environmental consulting services critical to nuclear stewardship and infrastructure resilience. He manages the full lifecycle of procurements for technical assessments, environmental remediation planning, and regulatory compliance services that underpin the integrity of defense-related nuclear facilities. His work directly enables the sustainment of the nuclear deterrent by ensuring environmental standards are met while advancing modernization initiatives tied to high-performance computing and advanced systems development. Romero maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading technical service providers including BWXT Enrichment Operations, LLC, Anduril Industries, Inc., Burns & McDonnell Engineering Company, Inc., Applied Engineering Services, Inc., and Qayaq Government Solutions LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in nuclear site operations, environmental engineering, and defense infrastructure support. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering collaborative engagements that align with the NNSA’s mission-critical requirements. Romero’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside contracting pattern, indicating a focus on open competition driven by technical merit rather than socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, his acquisitions still attract qualified small and mid-sized firms through competitive, performance-driven solicitations that emphasize capability over certification status. His primary acquisition focus is exclusively under NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), encompassing environmental impact assessments, radiological monitoring, soil and groundwater remediation design, and compliance with DOE and EPA regulatory frameworks. This specialization underscores deep technical expertise in nuclear environmental management, where precision, regulatory adherence, and scientific rigor are non-negotiable components of mission success.
