Amelia Stanko

Amelia Stanko serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex technical acquisitions in advanced manufacturing and defense-related systems, with a focus on precision-engineered components and mission-critical instrumentation. She works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to align contracting strategies with operational needs, ensuring timely delivery of high-reliability goods and services. While specific contractor names are not available, Amelia consistently engages with a diverse pool of manufacturers and system integrators, particularly those with specialized capabilities in bearing systems, avionics, and communications equipment. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, technical merit evaluation, and performance-based contracting, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in quality assurance and supply chain resilience. She prioritizes clear solicitation language and post-award oversight to mitigate risk and ensure contractor accountability. Amelia’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 88.7% of her awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, with 11.3% of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though no other socioeconomic categories are currently prominent in her portfolio, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding market access for qualified small manufacturers. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332991 (Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing), which accounts for nearly 60% of her activity, followed by 334511 (Aeronautical and Nautical System Manufacturing) and 334220 (Radio and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing). She specializes in procuring high-tolerance mechanical components, guidance systems, and mission-critical communications hardware, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with defense and aerospace supply chains. Her expertise ensures that acquisitions meet stringent performance, durability, and interoperability standards.
