Roxanne A. Gerry

Roxanne A. Gerry serves as a Contracting Officer within the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), where she plays a pivotal role in acquiring mission-critical technologies that enhance the tactical superiority of special operations forces. She manages a diverse portfolio of procurements focused on advanced transportation systems, electro-optical sensors, and rapid prototyping initiatives aligned with USSOCOM’s mission to field innovative, deployable capabilities across land, air, sea, and cyber domains. Her acquisitions prioritize technical experimentation, rapid development cycles, and field-ready solutions, often involving complex engineering and systems integration requirements. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly detailed, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with defense industrial base firms specializing in naval and aerospace systems, as well as R&D-focused entities capable of delivering rapid prototyping and prototype-to-production transitions. She collaborates with both large prime contractors and specialized small businesses capable of meeting USSOCOM’s stringent performance, security, and agility standards in high-threat environments. Ms. Gerry’s contracting approach reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 97% of her awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she maintains a deliberate, albeit limited, commitment to socioeconomic programs, with approximately 3% of awards directed toward Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), demonstrating targeted support for qualified veteran-led enterprises without compromising mission readiness. Her primary NAICS focus includes Ship Building and Repairing (336611), Boat Building (336612), and All Other Transportation Equipment Manufacturing (336999), underscoring her expertise in maritime and mobility platforms. She also frequently procures systems under Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (334511) and Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (541712), reflecting deep technical engagement with sensor integration, electronic warfare components, and advanced prototyping initiatives critical to USSOCOM’s operational edge.
