Allison M. Bugaj

Allison M. Bugaj serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions within the defense and advanced technology sectors. Though her specific title and agency are not disclosed, her contracting patterns indicate a central role in executing strategic procurements for mission-critical electronic and aerospace systems. She routinely handles competitive solicitations under FAR Part 15, with a focus on engineering, manufacturing, and systems integration contracts requiring rigorous technical evaluation and source selection. Her work supports national security and communications infrastructure through the acquisition of specialized components and end-product systems. Her contractor relationships span a diverse base of manufacturers and system integrators, particularly those with expertise in electronics, aviation, and communications equipment. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she engages with both large prime contractors and niche suppliers capable of meeting stringent military and aerospace specifications. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical capability, supply chain resilience, and compliance with federal manufacturing standards, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who can deliver high-reliability components under tight performance timelines. Bugaj demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 85.7% of her awards issued without set-asides, reflecting a mission-driven emphasis on maximizing technical merit and value. However, she consistently allocates 14.3% of her contracting activity to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate commitment to fostering innovation and capacity within the small business community. Her socioeconomic strategy prioritizes broad-based small business participation over targeted programs like 8(a) or HUBZone, aligning with agency-wide goals to maintain a competitive, agile supplier base. Her primary procurement focus lies in five key NAICS categories: electronic computer manufacturing, aircraft manufacturing, electronic connector production, radio and wireless communications equipment, and miscellaneous electrical components. These reflect deep expertise in avionics, embedded systems, and mission-critical electronics, underscoring her role in acquiring technologies that enable next-generation defense and aerospace platforms.
