Robert Greene

Robert Greene serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the FA9101 AEDC PKP Procurement Branch of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the Arnold Engineering Development Complex’s mission to sustain and modernize high-fidelity aerospace and hypersonic test infrastructure. He facilitates the acquisition of specialized engineering, construction, and technical services critical to maintaining wind tunnels, propulsion test stands, and environmental simulation systems. His role involves coordinating contract execution, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and aligning procurement activities with the complex’s strategic priorities in measurement precision, automation, and extreme-environment reliability. Greene maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Jacobs Technology Inc., Cubrc, Inc., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, who provide advanced engineering support, test system integration, and facility modernization services. He also collaborates regularly with specialized builders such as Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors and Rotating Machinery Services Inc., reflecting a pattern of engagement with niche technical vendors capable of delivering mission-critical, custom-engineered solutions under stringent performance and safety standards. His procurement portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on small business participation, with nearly 40% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and over 6% designated for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. While the majority of acquisitions are unrestricted, his team actively prioritizes socioeconomic programs to foster innovation and capacity building among qualified small vendors. Greene’s primary procurement focus lies in construction and engineering services, particularly under NAICS 236220 (commercial/institutional building construction) and 237310 (highway, street, and bridge construction), alongside significant activity in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contracting (238220) and architectural services (541310). These reflect the branch’s need for integrated facility upgrades supporting high-speed aerodynamic and thermal testing environments.
