Bryan White serves as a procurement specialist within the FA9101 AEDC PKP Procurement Branch of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the Arnold Engineering Development Complex’s mission to sustain and modernize advanced aerospace and hypersonic test infrastructure. He manages acquisition programs focused on critical test facility upgrades, including wind tunnels, propulsion test stands, and environmental simulation systems. His responsibilities encompass full lifecycle contracting for construction, engineering services, and specialized equipment integration, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the AEDC’s strategic goals of measurement precision and automated data acquisition. White maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including Jacobs Technology Inc., Cubrc, Inc., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, who provide technical expertise in high-fidelity test system modernization. He also regularly collaborates with specialized firms such as Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors and Rotating Machinery Services Inc., leveraging their niche capabilities in industrial facility upgrades and mechanical system maintenance. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in extreme-environment engineering and mission-critical infrastructure support. His procurement strategy is heavily oriented toward small business participation, with 83.3% of contracts set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. While specific set-aside categories are not disclosed, the high volume of small business awards indicates active engagement with 8(a), HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses capable of delivering complex technical services. The majority of his acquisitions fall under NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), reflecting a focus on civil infrastructure supporting test ranges and facility access systems, with additional activity in NAICS 236210 (Industrial Building Construction) for specialized test cell construction. His expertise lies in procuring hardened, high-reliability construction and facility integration services essential to hypersonic and aerospace testing environments.
