Cassandra M. Garcia

Sgt. Cassandra M. Garcia serves as a procurement specialist within the Commanding Officer’s office (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, where she supports the sustainment and modernization of naval aviation and electronic warfare systems. Her role centers on managing acquisition cycles for mission-critical aerospace components, communications infrastructure, and specialized engineering services essential to maintaining operational readiness. She handles competitive and sole-source procurements under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring compliance with technical specifications for high-reliability systems used in deployed aircraft and electronic attack platforms. Her work directly enables the Navy’s focus on advanced sensor integration, secure data links, and resilient avionics architectures. Sgt. Garcia maintains strategic relationships with key industry partners including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and Lockheed Martin Corporation, leveraging long-term partnerships to deliver complex, high-integrity systems. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense primes with proven track records in aerospace and electronic warfare domains, though she actively collaborates with specialized subcontractors to meet niche technical requirements. These relationships are built on technical rigor, timely delivery, and adherence to military specifications such as MIL-STD and DO-160. Her procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong emphasis on open competition, with 74.3% of awards issued without set-aside designations. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating 25.7% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to integrate capable small vendors into the naval supply chain without compromising mission-critical performance standards. Sgt. Garcia’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS categories including 334220 for wireless communications equipment, 335312 for motor and generator manufacturing, and 333912 for air and gas compressor systems. She procures components integral to flight control systems, power distribution units, and embedded avionics, demonstrating deep familiarity with electromagnetic compatibility, ruggedized electronics, and secure RF transmission technologies critical to naval air operations.
