Randolph Harris

Randolph Harris serves as a Program Manager responsible for overseeing the acquisition lifecycle of critical aerospace and defense-related systems. In this role, he translates operational requirements into structured procurement strategies, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contracts with national security and aviation modernization objectives. His portfolio primarily encompasses the procurement of aircraft propulsion systems, auxiliary aviation components, and specialized maintenance services, making him a key liaison between technical stakeholders and industry partners. Harris manages complex, technically demanding acquisitions that require deep engineering oversight and rigorous performance validation. While specific contractor names are not available, Harris maintains a broad network of Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers specializing in aerospace manufacturing and precision engineering. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, technical evaluation panels, and source selection criteria that prioritize innovation, reliability, and lifecycle support. He frequently engages with manufacturers capable of meeting stringent military and FAA certification standards, fostering long-term vendor partnerships built on quality assurance and supply chain resilience. Harris demonstrates no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing mission-critical performance and industrial base capacity. His contracting patterns indicate a deliberate alignment with the broader defense industrial ecosystem, where competition is driven by technical merit and production readiness rather than socioeconomic designations. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), accounting for 66% of his activity, followed by 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) at 18%. He also procures specialized maintenance and repair services under NAICS 811219 and turbine generator systems under 333611. His technical expertise centers on jet propulsion, flight control ancillaries, and high-reliability power systems, positioning him as a subject matter expert in advanced aerospace manufacturing and sustainment procurement.
