NATO’s Deployable Infrastructure Challenge: Inside NSPA’s Procurement Mission with Francesco Romano

Francesco Romano, Programme Manager for Support Operations at NATO’s Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA), sits down with Combat Engineering and Logistics to discuss the agency’s role in coordinating multinational defence procurement. He covers the modernisation of NATO-owned deployable camp equipment, evolving force protection requirements in light of lessons learned from the Russia-Ukraine conflict — including the growing threat posed by drones — and the rising demand for hardened infrastructure. Romano also explains how vendors can register with NSPA’s Source File system to access procurement opportunities.
