Austin Pagliaccetti

Austin Pagliaccetti serves as a key procurement specialist within the Defense Logistics Agency’s DCSO Philadelphia (SP4701), supporting the modernization of mission-critical defense information systems. He manages acquisitions for advanced IT services and research-driven solutions, with a focus on cloud-based enterprise platforms, custom software development, and systems integration for intelligence, logistics, and command and control environments. His role ensures alignment between technical requirements and contractual execution, facilitating the acquisition of secure, scalable technologies that enhance operational readiness across defense networks. Pagliaccetti engages with a diverse pool of contractors specializing in enterprise IT services and applied research, including firms with expertise in cybersecurity, data analytics, and systems architecture. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, he consistently cultivates partnerships with both large defense contractors and agile small businesses capable of delivering rapid, tailored solutions. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, agile development methodologies, and rigorous compliance with DoD acquisition regulations. He demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to all competitors. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation through small business participation while maintaining access to scalable enterprise capabilities. His procurement patterns show no preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, indicating a broad-based emphasis on capability over socioeconomic designation. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), reflecting expertise in custom software, systems integration, and applied R&D for defense applications. He routinely sources cloud migration services, AI-enabled analytics tools, and secure infrastructure solutions tailored to classified and unclassified DoD environments.
