Angela Cusati

Angela Cusati serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize surface ship systems. She manages complex acquisitions for advanced engineering services, shipboard integration, and industrial infrastructure, ensuring the operational readiness of naval platforms through the procurement of mission-critical technologies in propulsion, damage control, and industrial control systems. Her work directly enables the development, testing, and lifecycle support of high-reliability systems essential to the Navy’s surface fleet. Cusati maintains established 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 focus on deep technical expertise in marine engineering, electronic systems integration, and specialized component manufacturing. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor collaboration, often involving technical evaluation, performance-based contracting, and systems engineering support to meet stringent naval specifications. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on small business participation, with nearly 40% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 5.7% reserved for women-owned small businesses. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides demonstrates a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity-building among qualified small vendors in the defense industrial base. Cusati’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 541990 (Other Professional Services), reflecting her specialization in technical consulting, systems analysis, and mission-critical infrastructure support. She routinely procures services related to shipboard system integration, industrial maintenance, and facility upgrades, demonstrating deep expertise in naval engineering domains and a commitment to sustaining the Navy’s surface fleet through technically rigorous, competitively awarded contracts.
