Linda G. Robertson

Linda G. Robertson serves as a Contract Specialist within the 763d Enterprise Sourcing Squadron of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in enabling airpower readiness through the acquisition of mission-critical technology and logistics support services. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with operational readiness goals. She primarily manages complex acquisitions for advanced manufacturing, communications systems, and enterprise computing infrastructure, supporting pilot training, combat readiness, and logistical agility across DoD platforms. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Robertson maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses, mid-tier manufacturers, and specialized wholesalers. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and risk mitigation, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering high-integrity, low-latency systems under stringent defense standards. She consistently engages with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency in aerospace-grade fabrication and secure IT supply chains. Robertson exhibits a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 80% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize small business participation, particularly firms certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs, reinforcing the Air Force’s mandate to expand opportunity and innovation within the defense industrial base. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 332999 for custom fabricated metal components, 335999 for specialized electrical systems, 423430 for computer and peripheral equipment distribution, and 339113 for medical-grade surgical supplies—indicating a unique blend of aerospace, industrial, and health-supporting procurement domains. This cross-sector expertise enables her to source mission-enabling hardware and integrated systems that sustain both operational and personnel readiness across diverse Air Force missions.
