Charles S. Crivellaro

Charles S. Crivellaro serves as a Contracting Officer at the Headquarters Defense Media Activity (HQ DMA), where he is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisitions that support the agency’s mission to produce and distribute multimedia content to U.S. military personnel, families, and global audiences. He oversees contracts for broadcast infrastructure, digital content delivery systems, and strategic communications platforms, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with HQ DMA’s modernization priorities. His portfolio includes complex, technology-driven acquisitions requiring coordination with technical stakeholders across broadcasting, cybersecurity, and IT operations. Crivellaro cultivates partnerships with a diverse range of vendors, including firms specializing in custom software development, data infrastructure services, and broadcast equipment manufacturing. He maintains collaborative relationships with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering a competitive environment that emphasizes innovation and mission readiness. His contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes and leverages performance metrics to ensure contractor accountability across digital media delivery systems. His procurement patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of his awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of his acquisitions remain open to all competitors, he consistently prioritizes small business participation, particularly among service-disabled veteran-owned and woman-owned firms, aligning with DoD’s broader small business objectives. Crivellaro’s primary NAICS focus areas include custom computer programming, computing infrastructure services, administrative management consulting, educational support services, and radio and television broadcasting equipment manufacturing. He specializes in procuring mission-critical solutions such as content management systems, secure streaming platforms, digital signage networks, and training support services for military media operations, demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of defense communications and information technology.
