Roger White

Roger White supports the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (HDTRA1) in executing critical procurement activities aligned with its mission to counter weapons of mass destruction and mitigate emerging national security threats. Though his formal title is not listed, his procurement role centers on managing acquisitions for technical services, analytical support, and mission-enabling systems that advance detection, deterrence, and neutralization capabilities against chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosive threats. He handles a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning scientific research, operational support, and digital infrastructure, ensuring alignment with DoD acquisition regulations and strategic modernization goals. White maintains consistent partnerships with leading technical and analytical contractors, including TECHTRANS INTERNATIONAL INC, BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE, AERIS LLC, APPLIED RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC., and AMAZON WEB SERVICES, INC. These relationships reflect a preference for high-caliber providers with proven expertise in threat intelligence systems, forensic analysis, cloud-based data platforms, and specialized engineering services. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on firms capable of delivering complex, science-driven solutions under tight operational timelines, often through indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and other flexible contract vehicles. His procurement strategy prioritizes broad market access, with 60% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, while maintaining a strong commitment to small business participation—20% designated for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses and 20% for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach ensures access to niche capabilities while fostering socioeconomic diversity among vendors. His primary NAICS focus areas—561110 (Office Administrative Services) and 423430 (Computer and Computer Peripheral Equipment and Software Merchant Wholesalers)—reveal a heavy emphasis on mission support services and commercial-off-the-shelf technology procurement, particularly in cybersecurity, data management, and software integration. His expertise lies in bridging administrative efficiency with advanced technical requirements to sustain HDTRA1’s operational readiness.
