Robert Harrison

Robert Harrison supports the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land at Aberdeen mission by managing critical procurement activities for advanced electro-mechanical, communications, and signal processing systems essential to land-based military platforms. He oversees the acquisition of mission-critical components including avionics, radio and data transmission equipment, and power and control subsystems that sustain operational readiness for armored vehicles and tactical command systems. His work directly enables the modernization and sustainment of U.S. Army and Marine Corps ground forces through timely, compliant contracting under FAR and DFARS frameworks. Harrison maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Carson Industries, Inc., and Creating Technology Solutions, LLC—firms recognized for their expertise in defense-grade electronics, ruggedized communication hardware, and mission-specific electro-mechanical assemblies. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven capability in high-reliability manufacturing, MIL-STD compliance, and rapid prototyping of field-deployable systems. His contracting approach emphasizes technical evaluation, performance-based outcomes, and long-term supplier reliability over price alone. His procurement portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with 88% of awards issued without set-asides, demonstrating a focus on capability-driven sourcing. The remaining 12% are allocated to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical performance requirements. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, prioritizing technical fit and production capacity above socioeconomic designations. Harrison’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336992 for military armored vehicle components, with significant activity in current-carrying wiring devices (335931) and ordnance accessories (332994). He routinely procures ruggedized connectors, embedded control systems, and power distribution units designed for extreme environmental conditions. His domain expertise centers on the integration of electronic subsystems into combat platforms, requiring deep familiarity with military specifications, EMI/EMC standards, and lifecycle sustainment requirements.
