Bradley Dioguardo

Brad Dioguardo serves as a primary procurement lead within the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, overseeing the acquisition of advanced aviation systems critical to fleet readiness and air superiority. He manages complex contracts for the development, testing, and sustainment of mission-critical avionics, electronic warfare suites, and integrated aircraft subsystems, aligning procurement strategy with the Division’s modernization priorities. His work directly supports the integration of next-generation sensor technologies and communications platforms onto naval aircraft, ensuring operational capability across both legacy and emerging airframes. Dioguardo’s acquisitions span the full lifecycle—from R&D and prototyping to production and logistics support—reflecting a deep engagement with technical acquisition processes under FAR and DFARS frameworks. He maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense contractors including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, THE BOEING COMPANY, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, SYSTEMS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS, INC., and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, high-technical-complexity engagements, often involving systems engineering, test and evaluation, and rapid prototyping. Dioguardo’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and contractor accountability in delivering mission-critical aerospace capabilities. Dioguardo’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside categories. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic programs, his acquisitions remain accessible to all qualified vendors, fostering a competitive environment grounded in technical merit and mission need rather than socioeconomic criteria. His primary NAICS focus areas—336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) and 481219 (Other Nonscheduled Air Transportation)—reflect deep specialization in airborne platform integration and operational flight support services, with additional emphasis on flight training systems under 611512. He routinely procures advanced avionics, mission computer systems, electronic attack components, and flight simulation infrastructure, demonstrating expertise in aerospace systems engineering and defense acquisition lifecycle management.
