His work directly enables the agency’s mission to advance airborne warfare capabilities through rapid innovation and rigorous testing, ensuring that contracted solutions meet stringent defense performance and interoperability standards. DeMarco specializes in technical services acquisitions aligned with the Navy’s modernization priorities in electronic warfare, mission planning, and systems integration. DeMarco maintains established working relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors, including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., SAIC, Kranze Technology Solutions Inc., and Teya Support Services LLC. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contract structures focused on systems engineering, software development, and technical evaluation services. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor collaboration, risk mitigation, and adherence to defense acquisition regulations, fostering reliable delivery of high-integrity technical solutions across multiple program cycles. DeMarco’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside categories. While he does not routinely utilize socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his focus remains on securing the highest technical capability and mission readiness, prioritizing performance outcomes over socioeconomic classifications. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting deep specialization in systems engineering, software architecture, and embedded avionics development. He consistently procures services related to mission-critical software integration, real-time data processing, electronic warfare simulation, and airborne network modernization, ensuring alignment with the Navy’s evolving operational requirements in contested environments.
