Christopher Pellecer

Christopher Pellecer serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance naval aviation systems through research, development, testing, and evaluation. He manages complex acquisitions for mission-critical aerospace and electronic systems, focusing on avionics, sensor integration, command and control technologies, and mission simulation platforms. His work directly enables the modernization of airborne warfare capabilities by ensuring timely delivery of high-reliability hardware and software solutions aligned with Navy strategic priorities. Pellecer handles contract actions under FAR Part 15, often involving competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements for engineering services and specialized manufacturing. He maintains sustained relationships with leading defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., SAIC, Kranze Technology Solutions Inc., and Teya Support Services LLC, partnering primarily with prime contractors capable of delivering integrated systems across multiple technical domains. These partnerships emphasize systems engineering, rapid prototyping, and lifecycle support for next-generation naval aircraft platforms. His procurement approach favors established industry leaders with proven technical expertise in aerospace electronics and mission systems integration. Pellecer’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 84% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. The remaining 16% are allocated to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation without compromising technical performance or schedule integrity. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, prioritizing capability and readiness over socioeconomic categorization. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), reflecting support for naval aviation infrastructure, followed by semiconductor manufacturing (334413), aeronautical system instrumentation (334511), and printed circuit assembly (334418). He specializes in acquiring high-reliability electronic assemblies, radar and navigation systems, and embedded computing hardware critical to airborne mission systems.
