Natalie Roberson

Natalie Roberson serves as a key contracting professional within the FA8571 Maintenance Contracting unit of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, supporting the sustainment of mission-critical aerospace and electronic systems. She manages complex procurement actions for the repair, calibration, and modernization of high-precision test equipment, avionics instrumentation, and industrial maintenance systems essential to Air Force operational readiness. Her work directly enables the reliability of aircraft maintenance infrastructure, laboratory-grade measurement tools, and mission-critical test benches, ensuring compliance with military specifications and technical airworthiness standards. Roberson maintains strategic relationships with leading technical vendors including TERADYNE, INC., KEYSIGHT TECHNOLOGIES INC., and CORELIS, INC., who provide advanced electronic test and calibration solutions. She also collaborates with specialized fabricators such as TYONEK MACHINING AND FABRICATION, LLC, and technical service providers like COHO CONSULTING GROUP LLC, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in technical expertise and defense-grade quality assurance. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and lifecycle support for complex instrumentation systems. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 86.8% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic classification. However, she consistently allocates 13.2% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but active commitment to small business participation in niche technical markets. Roberson’s primary NAICS focus includes 811210 for electronic and precision equipment repair, 333517 for machine tool manufacturing, and 334515 for instrumentation used in electrical signal testing. She specializes in procuring calibrated test systems, automated diagnostic platforms, and custom-fabricated aerospace components, requiring deep domain knowledge in avionics, metrology, and industrial automation. Her expertise ensures acquisition decisions align with technical specifications, maintenance sustainment requirements, and Air Force logistics standards.
