Greggory Jones

Greggory Jones serves as the primary procurement lead for the FA9101 AEDC PKP Procurement Branch within the Department of the Air Force, overseeing complex acquisitions that sustain and modernize the Arnold Engineering Development Complex’s world-class aerospace test infrastructure. He manages a portfolio of contracts focused on high-fidelity wind tunnel systems, propulsion test stands, and environmental simulation facilities, ensuring the readiness of critical test capabilities for hypersonic and aerospace research. His acquisitions span engineering services, specialized instrumentation, and advanced data acquisition systems, requiring deep technical oversight and compliance with defense procurement regulations. Jones maintains consistent partnerships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including JACOBS TECHNOLOGY INC., CUBRC, INC., and ROTATING MACHINERY SERVICES INC., who provide engineering integration, facility modernization, and precision mechanical services. He also collaborates with niche manufacturers such as THOMA-SEA MARINE CONSTRUCTORS, L.L.C. and AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC for specialized fabrication and instrumentation solutions. These relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in extreme-environment testing, system integration, and legacy infrastructure upgrades, often requiring long-term technical support and performance-based contracting. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, Jones consistently allocates approximately 27.7% of his portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to fostering small business participation without relying on socioeconomically targeted programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. His contracting approach prioritizes capability over size designation, ensuring competitive, high-quality outcomes while expanding opportunities for qualified small firms in technical niches. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), with significant activity in analytical instrumentation manufacturing (334516, 334515, 334513) and electronic computer manufacturing (334111). He specializes in procuring precision measurement systems, process control instrumentation, and embedded data acquisition hardware critical to hypersonic and propulsion testing, reflecting deep domain expertise in aerospace test and evaluation environments.
