Alessandra Barzaghi

Alessandra Barzaghi-Martin supports the FA9300 AFTC PZR in advancing aerospace research and development through strategic acquisition of mission-critical instrumentation, proprietary software systems, and engineering services essential to air and space system testing and operational readiness. While her formal title is not publicly listed, her procurement activities are central to enabling cutting-edge analytical capabilities across DoD aerospace programs. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning software development, laboratory instrumentation, and mission support services, ensuring alignment with technical requirements for high-fidelity data acquisition, simulation, and systems integration in aerospace test environments. Her contractor relationships are characterized by engagement with specialized technology providers, including software publishers delivering custom data analysis platforms, R&D firms offering physical and engineering science services, and administrative support contractors facilitating program logistics. She cultivates partnerships with both large primes and agile small businesses capable of rapid prototyping and niche technical execution, fostering a collaborative acquisition environment grounded in technical rigor and performance-based outcomes. Barzaghi-Martin exhibits a strong preference for open competition, with 80% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, yet maintains a deliberate 20% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach reflects a commitment to fostering innovation through small business participation while preserving access to scalable, high-capacity vendors capable of meeting complex aerospace requirements. Her procurement focus is concentrated in three key NAICS categories: Software Publishers (513210), Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (541715), and Office Administrative Services (561110). She routinely procures analytical software suites, laboratory-grade instrumentation, and mission-critical engineering support services, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with aerospace test infrastructure, data acquisition systems, and computational modeling environments.
