Andrew J. Kolpack

Andrew J. Kolpack serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance naval aviation readiness through research, development, test, and evaluation of advanced aircraft systems. He manages complex acquisitions for high-performance avionics, flight control instrumentation, diagnostic systems, and maintenance infrastructure critical to next-generation naval aircraft. His work ensures the timely delivery of mission-critical technologies that enhance aircraft reliability, sustainment, and operational effectiveness across the fleet. Kolpack maintains established relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc., PCI Aviation LLC, Critical Communications, Controls and Instruments, LLC, and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on Tier 1 and specialized niche suppliers with proven expertise in military-grade electronics, sensor integration, and aircraft systems sustainment. His contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor collaboration to meet stringent naval aviation standards. His procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 96.9% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the technical complexity and specialized nature of the systems procured. Only 3.1% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides, indicating a strategic prioritization of capability over socioeconomic preferences, though small business participation remains a recognized component within the broader acquisition strategy. Kolpack’s primary NAICS focus areas include 334515 for precision measurement and test instrumentation, 511210 for software publishing related to aviation systems, 336411 for aircraft manufacturing, and 811219 for aircraft maintenance and repair services. His expertise centers on procuring mission-critical avionics, embedded diagnostic tools, flight data acquisition systems, and support technologies that enable real-time aircraft health monitoring and sustainment readiness across naval air platforms.
