Amy K. Scaduto serves as a Management Analyst at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, where she plays a pivotal role in planning, coordinating, and executing complex acquisitions for advanced naval aviation systems. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to modernize airborne sensor suites, enhance electronic warfare capabilities, and sustain legacy platforms through integrated avionics, communications, and mission-critical subsystems. Scaduto specializes in managing technical procurement initiatives spanning software development, systems integration, and specialized instrumentation, ensuring alignment with Navy-wide readiness objectives and acquisition best practices under FAR and DFARS guidelines. She maintains consistent working relationships with key industry partners including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, THE BOEING COMPANY, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, SYSTEMS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS, INC., and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach between large prime contractors with deep systems engineering expertise and mid-tier firms capable of delivering specialized hardware and software solutions. Scaduto fosters collaborative procurement environments that emphasize technical rigor, lifecycle sustainment, and rapid prototyping for next-generation airborne platforms. A strong advocate for small business participation, Scaduto prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, directing approximately 70% of her acquisitions to small businesses, including those certified under HUBZone, SDB, and WOSB programs. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate innovation from niche vendors while maintaining a robust industrial base capable of supporting classified and mission-critical aviation programs. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 511210 (Software Publishers) and 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), with additional emphasis on computer peripheral and electronic systems manufacturing. She routinely acquires mission-critical software, embedded systems, test and evaluation equipment, and signal processing hardware—demonstrating deep expertise in avionics integration, electronic warfare support systems, and airborne data architecture.
