Robert Burrier

Robert Burrier serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4419 agency of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize critical air base infrastructure and aerospace support systems. His work directly supports operational readiness by securing mission-critical equipment and services related to aircraft maintenance, environmental control systems, and facility utilities. He routinely handles complex contracts under FAR Part 15, with a focus on performance-based acquisitions, requirements defined through technical specifications, and delivery order mechanisms that ensure timely support for expeditionary and garrisoned operations. Burrier maintains a primary contracting relationship with Coordinated Defense Supply Systems, Inc., a trusted vendor providing specialized environmental and aircraft support components. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established defense contractors with proven track records in aerospace logistics and system integration, while also engaging niche suppliers capable of delivering custom-engineered solutions for aging infrastructure. His working relationships emphasize reliability, compliance with military specifications, and responsiveness to urgent maintenance cycles. His contracting portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 90% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the technical complexity and specialized nature of required systems. However, he consistently allocates 10% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical performance standards. The agency’s procurement focus is dominated by NAICS 334512, indicating heavy investment in automatic environmental control systems for hangars, barracks, and mission facilities. Additional emphasis is placed on NAICS 336413 for aircraft auxiliary equipment and NAICS 541330/541380 for engineering services and testing laboratories. Burrier’s expertise lies in procuring high-reliability thermal, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, along with certified test services for aerospace components, ensuring compliance with MIL-STD and AFI standards for operational safety and environmental resilience.
