Anna-Karina Dragolich

Anna-Karina Dragolich serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisition programs within a federal defense and industrial support environment. She oversees the full lifecycle of procurements—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR, DFARS, and socioeconomic regulations. Her portfolio primarily centers on specialized manufacturing and engineering systems, supporting critical national defense infrastructure. Dragolich’s acquisitions are characterized by technical rigor and a focus on supply chain resilience, often involving precision-engineered components and mission-critical subsystems. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, Dragolich maintains a broad network of industrial suppliers, including both large-tier manufacturers and niche specialty vendors with expertise in electromechanical systems, automotive-grade electronics, and ordnance components. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, performance-based requirements, and strict adherence to quality assurance standards. She frequently engages with vendors possessing AS9100 and ISO 9001 certifications, ensuring alignment with defense-grade manufacturing protocols. Dragolich demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 87.1% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating 12.9% of her contracting activity to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her approach reflects a balanced commitment to efficiency and socioeconomic goals, prioritizing capable small businesses that meet stringent technical and compliance thresholds without compromising mission readiness. Her primary NAICS focus areas include motor vehicle electrical and electronic equipment manufacturing (336320), other motor vehicle parts manufacturing (336390), other engine equipment manufacturing (333618), and small arms and ordnance accessories manufacturing (332994), with a notable emphasis on 335911 (Other Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing). These reflect deep expertise in procuring high-reliability components for defense, transportation, and industrial applications, where precision, durability, and regulatory compliance are paramount.
