Andrew Sieracki

Andrew Sieracki serves as a Contracting Officer at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), where he manages complex procurement actions critical to the development, test, and sustainment of advanced naval aviation systems. His portfolio encompasses high-performance avionics, flight control instrumentation, diagnostic systems, and specialized ordnance components essential to maintaining airpower readiness. He plays a pivotal role in executing research and development contracts under the Department of the Navy’s mission to field next-generation aircraft technologies, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement strategies with technical requirements from engineering and test teams. Sieracki maintains long-standing relationships with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration, PCI Aviation, Critical Communications, Controls and Instruments, and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC. These partnerships are primarily focused on the integration of mission-critical systems requiring rigorous certification and technical validation. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical risk mitigation, and iterative development cycles, often utilizing Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) and Other Transaction Authority (OTA) mechanisms to accelerate innovation. While the majority of his acquisitions—93.3%—are competed without set-asides, he consistently supports small business participation through the 8(a) program, with 6.7% of awards designated for 8(a) competed contracts. His socioeconomic strategy balances operational urgency with statutory small business goals, ensuring qualified small firms contribute to high-priority technical programs without compromising mission readiness. His primary NAICS focus areas include 332994 (Small Arms and Ordnance Accessories), 332993 (Ammunition Manufacturing), 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), and 336419 (Guided Missile Parts), reflecting deep expertise in ordnance systems, precision instrumentation, and avionics integration. He procures specialized electronic test equipment, flight data recorders, and embedded control systems, demonstrating technical fluency across defense electronics and weapon system sustainment domains.
