Angela Cusati

Angela Cusati serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division, supporting the U.S. Navy’s mission to modernize and sustain surface ship systems. She manages complex acquisitions for mission-critical engineering, electronic systems, and shipboard integration capabilities, with a focus on propulsion, damage control, ballast, and industrial control infrastructure. Her work ensures the operational readiness of naval platforms through the acquisition of advanced technologies and services aligned with Navy modernization priorities. She routinely handles contracts under FAR Part 15 procedures, emphasizing technical evaluation, performance-based requirements, and lifecycle sustainment solutions. Cusati maintains strong, ongoing relationships with leading defense and industrial contractors including FAIRBANKS MORSE, LLC, LEIDOS, INC., ROLLS-ROYCE CORPORATION, G. S. E. DYNAMICS, INC., and KAMPI COMPONENTS CO INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven expertise in naval systems integration, electronic component manufacturing, and mechanical systems sustainment. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical proficiency, reliability, and long-term support capabilities, often resulting in multi-year, performance-based task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts. Her procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 89.7% of awards issued under full and open competition, indicating a strong emphasis on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences. However, she consistently allocates 10.3% of awards to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical requirements. Cusati’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 562213 (solid waste combustors and incinerators), 238290 (other building equipment contractors), 334419 (other electronic component manufacturing), 541330 (engineering services), and 334111 (electronic computer manufacturing). These reflect deep expertise in shipboard systems integration, industrial control infrastructure, and specialized electronic components essential to naval platform sustainment and modernization.
