Berj Mardirossian

Berj Mardirossian serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the acquisition and sustainment of advanced naval aviation systems critical to U.S. Navy and Marine Corps operational readiness. Responsible for managing engineering services contracts, he plays a central role in the lifecycle management of aircraft, avionics, and mission-critical support infrastructure. His work directly enables NAVAIR’s mission to modernize carrier-based and expeditionary air platforms, ensuring technological superiority through rigorous systems integration and technical oversight. Mardirossian primarily handles complex, performance-based engineering services contracts requiring deep domain expertise in aerospace systems development and sustainment. He maintains consistent, long-term relationships with leading defense contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, all of which provide advanced aviation systems, unmanned aerial platforms, and integrated logistics support. These partnerships are characterized by technical collaboration, iterative contract modifications, and performance-driven contract administration. Mardirossian’s procurement approach emphasizes mission-critical outcomes over transactional vendor relationships, fostering stability and innovation through repeat engagements with industry leaders possessing proven capability in naval aviation domains. Mardirossian’s contracting activity shows no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on accessing the broadest possible pool of technical expertise, prioritizing capability and readiness over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, the nature of the work—requiring high-fidelity engineering and systems integration—naturally aligns with large, experienced contractors capable of meeting stringent defense standards. His procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing systems engineering, avionics integration, flight control software development, and sustainment support for naval aircraft. He specializes in procuring technical services that support the design, testing, and lifecycle maintenance of complex aviation platforms, demonstrating deep familiarity with DoD acquisition regulations and aerospace engineering best practices.
