Brian Robertson

Brian Robertson serves as a secondary procurement contact within the FA2541 SSC Commercial Services Office, part of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the acquisition of commercial satellite telecommunications services critical to national defense operations. While not a lead contracting officer, he plays a vital supporting role in the end-to-end procurement lifecycle—assisting in requirements validation, market research, contract administration, and stakeholder coordination for commercial satellite capacity procurements. His work ensures seamless integration of commercial satellite communications into airborne, ground, and space-based platforms, enabling resilient command and control, intelligence sharing, and global mobility support across DoD missions. Robertson collaborates with a broad ecosystem of commercial satellite service providers, including major Tier-1 operators and specialized capacity brokers, to secure flexible, high-throughput, and secure communications links. He engages with vendors offering leased transponder capacity, managed services, and software-defined network solutions, often working in tandem with lead contracting officers to evaluate technical proposals, assess service-level agreements, and ensure compliance with national security standards. His partnerships are characterized by a focus on innovation, scalability, and rapid contract execution to meet dynamic operational demands. Robertson’s procurement activities reflect a strict preference for open, non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of his supported contracts awarded under unrestricted competition. This aligns with the agency’s strategic imperative to access the most capable and cost-effective commercial satellite providers globally, prioritizing technical performance and operational resilience over socioeconomic set-asides. His primary focus is on NAICS 517410—Satellite Telecommunications—where he supports the procurement of commercial satellite bandwidth, earth station services, and secure, anti-jam communication solutions. He specializes in acquiring end-to-end connectivity services that support contested environments, with deep familiarity in L-band, X-band, and Ka-band spectrum utilization, as well as commercial hybrid network architectures integrating government and commercial satellite assets.
