Robert Roulusonis

Robert Roulusonis serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center, supporting the agency’s mission to advance naval aviation systems through research, development, testing, and evaluation of mission-critical technologies. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on advanced avionics, airborne command and control systems, sensor integration, and mission simulation software. His role ensures alignment between technical requirements and contract execution, facilitating the timely delivery of next-generation aerospace capabilities to the U.S. Navy. Roulusonis specializes in complex engineering and systems integration contracts, often coordinating across multiple technical domains to meet evolving operational needs. He maintains strong, sustained relationships with leading defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., SAIC, Teya Support Services LLC, and Kranze Technology Solutions Inc. These partnerships are centered on high-value engineering services, systems integration, and specialized technical support for naval aviation platforms. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based outcomes, and technical compliance with DoD standards, fostering reliable delivery of mission-essential capabilities from established industry partners. Roulusonis exhibits a clear preference for open competition, with 87.5% of his acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. However, he consistently allocates 12.5% of awards to HUBZone-certified small businesses, reflecting a targeted commitment to geographic economic development and qualified small business participation. His socioeconomic contracting patterns prioritize merit-based selection while ensuring compliance with federal small business goals, without relying on 8(a), SDVOSB, or WOSB set-asides. His procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 333517 (Machine Tool Manufacturing), reflecting demand for precision components used in avionics and weapon systems. He also actively procures engineering services, custom computer programming, and R&D in physical and engineering sciences, demonstrating deep technical expertise in aerospace systems, embedded software, and mission-critical hardware integration. His work bridges advanced manufacturing with software-driven operational capabilities essential to modern naval air warfare.
