Richard Bulson

Richard Bulson serves as a primary procurement contact, managing acquisitions and supporting the agency's mission through the procurement of specialized aerospace components and systems. Regarding set-aside preferences, the procurement patterns show a primary reliance on full and open competitions, which account for the majority of activity. There is a documented commitment to small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides. Additionally, a portion of the procurement activity is restricted to specific proprietary sources, such as Honeywell, due to engineering source approvals and the unavailability of technical data. The industry focus is centered on aircraft manufacturing, specifically within the domains of aircraft engines and engine parts manufacturing as well as other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing. This indicates a technical specialization in high-precision aerospace engineering and aviation component procurement.
