Anne C. Green

Anne C. Green serves as a Contract Specialist within the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Rocket Propulsion Division (FA9453), where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex research and development acquisitions critical to national space superiority. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts supporting advanced propulsion systems, resilient computing architectures, and high-performance instrumentation for space domain awareness and autonomous satellite operations. Her work directly enables the rapid prototyping and fielding of next-generation aerospace technologies, aligning procurement strategy with the agency’s mission to maintain U.S. dominance in space-based capabilities through innovation-driven contracting. Green collaborates with a diverse array of defense contractors, research institutions, and engineering firms specializing in aerospace propulsion, space systems integration, and advanced instrumentation. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing deep technical expertise in rocket propulsion, hypersonics, and space-qualified electronics. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical risk mitigation, and agile acquisition pathways such as Other Transaction Authorities and prototype agreements to accelerate technology transition from lab to operational use. Green’s procurement profile reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This underscores a mission-driven focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing the most qualified offerors regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally targeted, her contracting actions remain compliant with all applicable federal regulations and may include small businesses when they demonstrate superior technical merit. Her primary procurement focus is squarely on NAICS 541712—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences—where she procures advanced engineering services, computational modeling, materials testing, and prototype development for next-generation space systems. Her technical domain expertise spans rocket propulsion, space-based sensors, and autonomous navigation systems, making her a key enabler of the Air Force’s rapid innovation agenda in space.
