George Pulos

George Pulos serves as a procurement lead at NASA Glenn Research Center, where he manages acquisitions critical to sustaining the agency’s mission in advanced aerospace systems and propulsion technologies. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract execution for facility and operational support services, ensuring alignment with NASA’s strategic goals in extreme-environment engineering and space-based power systems. Pulos specializes in non-technical, mission-enabling acquisitions that maintain the operational readiness of research infrastructure, with a consistent focus on janitorial and facility maintenance services under FAR Part 12 and Part 15 contracting frameworks. His primary contractor relationships are centered on Troy Sierra JV LLC, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and Electronic Fluorocarbons, LLC—vendors with proven track records in delivering specialized facility services to federal aerospace installations. These partnerships reflect a preference for established small business contractors capable of meeting stringent NASA safety, compliance, and environmental standards. Pulos fosters long-term, performance-based contracting relationships that emphasize reliability, regulatory adherence, and mission-critical service continuity across Glenn’s high-hazard research facilities. Pulos maintains a 100% Small Business Set-Aside preference under FAR 19.5, reflecting an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. All of his acquisitions are reserved exclusively for small businesses, with no use of large business set-asides or sole-source justifications. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to maximize small business participation in support of NASA’s broader economic development and innovation objectives, particularly within the Cleveland-area aerospace ecosystem. His procurement portfolio is exclusively classified under NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), focusing on high-specification cleaning, waste management, hazardous material handling, and facility sanitation services tailored to NASA’s cleanroom environments, propulsion test stands, and laboratory facilities. This specialization demands contractors with expertise in contamination control, chemical compliance, and aerospace-grade sanitation protocols, positioning Pulos as a key enabler of mission-critical operational integrity through essential support services.
