Brent Robinson

Brent Robinson serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, supporting the acquisition of advanced avionics, sensor systems, and mission-critical aircraft subsystems essential to naval air superiority. Responsible for managing complex technical contracts, he ensures the timely delivery of high-integrity instrumentation and electronic warfare capabilities aligned with the Navy’s modernization priorities. His portfolio primarily encompasses the development, integration, and sustainment of systems that measure, display, and control electrical signals and industrial process variables, directly enabling operational readiness across next-generation naval platforms. Robinson maintains longstanding relationships with leading defense contractors including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, The Boeing Company, SAIC, Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc., and ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven expertise in aerospace electronics, signal processing, and precision instrument manufacturing. His contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, risk mitigation, and performance-based outcomes, often leveraging firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types to align with program maturity and innovation needs. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, Robinson consistently allocates approximately 20% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to fostering innovation from smaller, agile vendors. His socioeconomic strategy prioritizes broad-based small business participation without heavy reliance on specialized set-asides like 8(a) or HUBZone, reflecting a balanced approach to capability and capacity. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 334515 and 334513, reflecting deep expertise in the acquisition of test and measurement instrumentation, avionics interfaces, and industrial control systems. He regularly sources specialized components such as signal conditioners, data acquisition units, and electronic test fixtures critical to flight systems validation, underscoring his technical fluency in aerospace electronics and systems integration.
