Anthony Cromartie

Anthony Cromartie serves as a procurement professional at NASA Langley Research Center, supporting the agency’s mission to advance aeronautics and space exploration through strategic acquisitions of specialized engineering and technical services. He manages a portfolio focused on electrical systems integration and motor-generator manufacturing, ensuring that critical research infrastructure and experimental aerospace systems are supported by reliable, high-performance components. His work directly enables Langley’s core initiatives in hypersonics, spacecraft instrumentation, and advanced materials development, aligning procurement activities with the Center’s R&D priorities and technical milestones. Cromartie maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Jackson Bond Enterprises, LLC, the University of Utah, and Roche Diagnostics Corporation. These partnerships reflect a blend of niche electrical contracting expertise, academic research collaboration, and industrial-scale manufacturing capabilities. His procurement approach emphasizes technical precision and mission-critical reliability, often requiring vendors to meet stringent aerospace-grade specifications and compliance standards. He fosters long-term vendor engagement through structured contract vehicles that support iterative development and system integration needs. Cromartie’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate focus on technical capability over socioeconomic criteria, prioritizing performance, innovation, and mission readiness in vendor selection. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, the nature of the procurements—often requiring specialized industrial expertise—naturally draws from a mix of small and large firms with proven aerospace credentials. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238210 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors), accounting for 75% of activity, and NAICS 335312 (Motor and Generator Manufacturing), comprising 25%. These categories support the installation and maintenance of complex electrical systems, power distribution networks, and precision motor assemblies critical to ground testing, flight hardware, and remote sensing instrumentation. His expertise centers on procuring mission-critical hardware and integration services that meet NASA’s rigorous aerospace engineering standards.
