Ryan Gregory

Ryan Gregory serves as a key procurement professional at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, supporting the agency’s mission to advance human spaceflight systems and life sciences research. He manages complex acquisitions for professional, scientific, and engineering services critical to crewed mission operations, radiation biology studies, and spacecraft systems development. His work ensures the Center secures specialized technical expertise to sustain long-duration spaceflight capabilities and enable future exploration beyond low Earth orbit. Gregory handles contract actions requiring high levels of technical oversight, often involving multidisciplinary teams and cutting-edge research partnerships. He maintains strategic relationships with a select group of high-caliber contractors, including Sierra Space Corp for advanced life support and habitat technologies, Aspera Biomedicines, Inc. for microgravity life sciences research, and Single Crystal Diamond Inc. for radiation-hardened materials. Wright & Dalbin Architects Inc. supports specialized facility design for research laboratories and mission control environments. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and long-term operational reliability over cost-driven procurement, fostering collaborative partnerships with vendors possessing deep domain expertise in aerospace and biomedical engineering. Gregory’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate focus on accessing the highest-tier technical capabilities available in the marketplace, prioritizing mission-critical performance over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, the nature of the requirements often naturally attracts innovative small firms with niche expertise in specialized engineering and scientific services. His primary NAICS focus lies in Engineering Services (541330) and All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (541990), encompassing systems integration, human factors analysis, microgravity physiology modeling, and spacecraft guidance and control. He procures advanced research instrumentation, computational simulation tools, and mission-critical software systems essential to sustaining human life in space and developing next-generation exploration architectures.
