Christine Pistochini

Christine Pistochini serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding Officer’s office (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, responsible for acquiring mission-critical aerospace components, electronic warfare systems, and advanced communications infrastructure to sustain naval aviation readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on engineering services, sensor integration, and cybersecurity-enabled avionics, ensuring alignment with the Navy’s modernization priorities for next-generation aircraft platforms. Her acquisitions directly support the operational integrity of carrier-based and land-based aviation assets through timely procurement of high-reliability subsystems and mission-critical support services. Pistochini maintains strategic relationships with prime contractors including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC and Lockheed Martin Corporation, partnering with industry leaders capable of delivering complex, high-integrity systems under stringent military specifications. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical proficiency, rapid prototyping capability, and compliance with MIL-STD and DoD cybersecurity standards. She frequently engages with vendors possessing AS9100 and ITAR certifications, prioritizing suppliers with proven experience in classified aerospace programs and rapid sustainment cycles. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 77.3% of awards issued without set-asides, while maintaining a deliberate commitment to small business participation—18.2% of contracts are awarded under total small business set-asides, and 4.5% specifically target service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB). This balance ensures access to innovative capabilities while upholding broad market competition and socioeconomic goals. Pistochini’s primary NAICS focus areas include 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), 811219 (Other Activities Related to Aviation), and 511210 (Software Publishers), reflecting deep expertise in procuring flight-critical hardware, avionics maintenance services, and mission software development. She consistently sources specialized components such as electronic warfare jammers, secure data links, and embedded flight control systems, demonstrating technical fluency in aerospace systems integration and defense electronics supply chains.
