Dawn Robinson

Dawn Robinson serves as Team Lead for the W6QK Acc-rsa under the Department of the Army, where she oversees the acquisition and contract management of mission-critical aerospace defense systems. Her role centers on advancing the Army’s aerial and missile defense modernization priorities, including procurement of avionics, sensor suites, propulsion components, and test instrumentation for platforms such as the UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache. She leads cross-functional teams in developing solicitation strategies, evaluating technical proposals, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, with a focus on sustaining operational readiness through reliable, high-performance systems. Robinson maintains long-standing procurement relationships with leading defense contractors, most notably Lockheed Martin Corporation and Alaska Aerospace Corp. These partnerships are rooted in the delivery of complex aerospace subsystems, including flight control electronics, missile guidance instrumentation, and test calibration equipment. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and lifecycle support, fostering collaborative engagements with prime contractors capable of integrating cutting-edge technologies into existing Army platforms. Her procurement portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a strategic emphasis on technical capability and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic classifications, aligning with the agency’s need for rapid, high-fidelity system integration in time-sensitive defense programs. Robinson’s primary procurement focus is NAICS 334515—Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals—reflecting deep expertise in acquiring precision test and measurement equipment essential for avionics validation, radar signal analysis, and missile system diagnostics. She routinely procures calibrated sensors, data acquisition systems, and embedded test instrumentation, demonstrating specialized knowledge in electronic warfare support, signal integrity, and aerospace qualification testing.
