Amy Olszewski

Amy V. Olszewski serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), where she plays a critical role in executing the lifecycle acquisition of naval aviation systems. Responsible for soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts under the N00019 contracting vehicle, she supports the procurement of advanced aircraft, avionics, weapons systems, and mission-critical logistics infrastructure. Her work directly enables NAVAIR’s mission to maintain air superiority through the development, testing, and sustainment of carrier-based and expeditionary aviation platforms. Olszewski routinely handles complex, high-stakes acquisitions involving technical specifications, performance-based requirements, and integrated logistics support, ensuring alignment with Department of Defense acquisition regulations and naval operational readiness goals. She maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense prime contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with organizations that deliver cutting-edge aerospace and defense technologies. These vendor relationships are characterized by long-term, performance-driven engagements focused on system integration, sustainment, and technology modernization. Olszewski works closely with these industry leaders to manage technical risk, ensure compliance with military specifications, and facilitate timely delivery of mission-essential capabilities across the Navy and Marine Corps enterprise. Olszewski’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-asides. This indicates a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability, industrial base capacity, and mission urgency over socioeconomic classifications. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach ensures access to the most capable and experienced contractors supporting complex naval aviation systems. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541712 (R&D in physical and engineering sciences), 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), and 334511 (Aeronautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in advanced aviation technology development. She also engages in support activities under 488190, procuring specialized air transportation logistics and training services. Her domain knowledge spans flight systems integration, radar and navigation instrumentation, and sustainment engineering for naval air platforms.
