Raymond E. Green

Raymond E. Green serves as a key procurement lead within U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical technologies that enhance the tactical superiority of special operations forces. His responsibilities center on securing advanced communications systems, electro-optical and night vision equipment, and rapid prototyping solutions aligned with USSOCOM’s focus on domain dominance and operational agility. He manages a portfolio of acquisitions governed by urgent operational requirements, often utilizing Other Transaction Authorities (OTAs) and experimental contracting pathways to accelerate fielding of next-generation capabilities. His work directly supports the Command’s mission to deliver cutting-edge, field-deployable systems to elite units operating in high-risk, low-visibility environments. Green maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse array of technology providers, including defense primes, innovative small businesses, and research-oriented firms specializing in secure communications and sensor integration. He frequently engages with vendors capable of rapid iteration and adaptive development, fostering partnerships that bridge commercial innovation with military operational needs. His contracting approach emphasizes agility, technical validation, and interoperability, often prioritizing vendors with proven experience in military-grade RF systems, encrypted data links, and AI-enabled targeting platforms. His procurement patterns reflect a strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity, with over 50% of awards issued without set-asides, yet a significant portion—nearly one-third—reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). An additional 18.8% are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced strategy that supports both mission readiness and national small business policy. Green’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 334220, where he procures radio and wireless communications equipment, alongside significant activity in computer systems design services (541512) and professional technical services (541990). His portfolio underscores deep expertise in tactical networking, real-time data fusion, and secure battlefield information systems, ensuring that USSOCOM maintains technological advantage across all operational domains.
