Amanda Graziosi

Amanda Graziosi serves as a key procurement professional at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, supporting the agency’s mission to advance human spaceflight systems and life sciences capabilities. She manages complex acquisitions for critical hardware and engineering services essential to crewed missions in low Earth orbit and beyond, with a focus on spacecraft subsystems, analytical instrumentation, and specialized manufacturing. Her work directly enables the development of next-generation life support systems, radiation shielding, and guidance technologies, aligning procurement strategy with NASA’s operational and scientific priorities. Graziosi handles competitive and sole-source contracts under FAR and NASA FAR Supplement guidelines, ensuring technical compliance and mission readiness. She maintains consistent relationships with specialized contractors including Sierra Space Corp, Aspera Biomedicines, Inc., and Single Crystal Diamond Inc., partnering with firms that deliver advanced aerospace components, microgravity research tools, and high-purity materials. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for technically sophisticated vendors capable of meeting stringent spaceflight qualification standards. These partnerships are typically long-term, performance-based, and rooted in deep technical collaboration to address unique challenges in human space exploration. Graziosi’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven emphasis on technical excellence and capability over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing the most qualified vendors regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, all awards adhere to federal transparency and fair competition standards. Her primary NAICS focus includes heavy-gauge metal tank manufacturing, aeronautical system and instrument manufacturing, analytical laboratory instrumentation, and aircraft auxiliary equipment production, alongside engineering services. These categories support the development of spacecraft environmental control systems, in-flight diagnostic tools, and microgravity physiology research platforms, underscoring her expertise in high-reliability, space-qualified procurement.
