Trevor Webb

Trevor Webb serves as a Contracting Specialist within the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Propulsion Directorate (FA8650), where he manages complex acquisitions supporting next-generation aerospace propulsion, hypersonic systems, and advanced materials research. His role is central to the agency’s mission of accelerating technological dominance in air and space domains, overseeing the procurement of technical consulting services that enable rapid prototyping, systems integration, and mission-critical R&D. He handles full lifecycle contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and administration—primarily focused on high-impact engineering and management support services that bridge government objectives with industry innovation. Webb maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including UES INC, General Electric Company, DCS Corporation, Spirit Aerosystems Inc, and Advanced Thermoplastic Composites LLC. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based engagements centered on systems engineering, computational modeling, materials characterization, and propulsion technology development. His contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, compliance with FAR and DFARS requirements, and collaboration with industry leaders capable of delivering cutting-edge solutions under stringent aerospace standards. Notably, Webb’s portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside procurement strategy, with no utilization of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects the specialized, mission-critical nature of the work, which demands deep technical expertise and scalable capacity often found only among established prime contractors with proven aerospace credentials. His approach prioritizes technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the high-risk, high-reward nature of AFRL’s propulsion initiatives. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541611—Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services—encompassing systems engineering, technical advisory services, and program management support for advanced propulsion and hypersonics programs. He procures specialized consulting services that enable the transition of fundamental research into operational prototypes, ensuring seamless integration of novel materials, flight control algorithms, and propulsion architectures into future air and space platforms.
