Richard S. Roy

Richard S. Roy serves as Logistics Manager responsible for overseeing the acquisition and distribution of mission-critical electronic assembly components and related logistics infrastructure. In this role, he ensures timely procurement of printed circuit assemblies and associated electronic systems to support operational readiness and supply chain resilience. His responsibilities span the full acquisition lifecycle—from requirements definition and market research to contract award and performance monitoring—with a focus on technical compliance, quality assurance, and supply chain security. Roy’s work is central to sustaining the agency’s electronic systems lifecycle, ensuring that procurement aligns with engineering specifications and logistics timelines. Roy maintains strategic relationships with a network of specialized manufacturers and electronic assembly contractors, primarily those with expertise in high-reliability printed circuit board fabrication and surface-mount technology assembly. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor qualification, technical capability assessments, and adherence to industry standards such as IPC-A-610 and J-STD-001. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages firms with proven experience in low-volume, high-precision electronic manufacturing, fostering long-term partnerships based on quality, traceability, and on-time delivery performance. Roy’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under open competition. This reflects a deliberate focus on technical capability and supply chain reliability over socioeconomic preferences, indicating a procurement strategy prioritizing mission-critical performance over mandated small business set-asides. His approach aligns with agencies requiring uncompromising quality in electronic systems where certification and technical expertise outweigh socioeconomic criteria. His primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 334418—Printed Circuit Assembly (Electronic Assembly) Manufacturing—indicating deep specialization in the procurement of complex electronic assemblies, including multilayer PCBs, hybrid circuits, and embedded component integration. Roy’s domain expertise encompasses surface-mount technology, lead-free soldering processes, and automated optical inspection, ensuring that acquired systems meet stringent military and industrial reliability standards.
