Zettie Robin Roberts

Zettie Robin Roberts serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC), where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that support elite special operations forces. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from requirements validation and solicitation development to contract award and administration—with a focus on professional development, educational support, and specialized instructional services that enhance tactical proficiency and doctrinal readiness. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with USASOC’s strategic objectives to maintain operational superiority through highly trained personnel and advanced learning systems. Roberts maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, SOF LANDING LLC, TERRESTRIS, LLC, and STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS UNLIMITED, INC., all of which provide niche capabilities in training systems, mission support services, and technical instruction tailored to special operations environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in proven performance, domain expertise, and adaptability to dynamic operational needs, fostering long-term relationships with vendors who understand the unique demands of SOF readiness. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Roberts exclusively utilizes Total Small Business Set-Aside authorities under FAR 19.5, ensuring all procurements are reserved for small business concerns. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, enabling emerging firms to contribute meaningfully to national defense missions while promoting equitable access to federal opportunities. Her procurement portfolio is narrowly focused on NAICS 334112—Computer Storage Device Manufacturing—indicating a specialized need for secure, ruggedized data storage solutions that support intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and mission-critical digital training platforms. This technical domain expertise underscores her role in acquiring hardened computing infrastructure essential to SOF operational success in austere environments.
