Claudia G DiSalvo

Claudia G. DiSalvo serves as an Acquisition Specialist responsible for managing complex procurement actions across defense and communications technology domains. She plays a critical role in executing full lifecycle acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific regulations. Her portfolio primarily encompasses high-technology systems requiring rigorous technical evaluation, including electronic components, avionics, and military-grade communications equipment. DiSalvo’s work supports mission-critical capabilities for national defense and infrastructure resilience, requiring close coordination with engineering, logistics, and program management stakeholders to align contracting strategies with operational requirements. While specific contractor names are not available, DiSalvo maintains a broad network of vendors specializing in advanced manufacturing and defense electronics. She engages with both large prime contractors and tiered subcontractor networks, fostering competitive environments that emphasize technical innovation, quality assurance, and supply chain reliability. Her procurement approach prioritizes risk mitigation through robust source selection criteria and performance-based contract structures, ensuring deliverables meet stringent military and aerospace standards. DiSalvo’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 95% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. Nevertheless, she consistently allocates approximately 5% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising mission readiness. Her approach aligns with agency priorities that balance socioeconomic goals with operational urgency, favoring broad-based competition while ensuring eligible small businesses have meaningful access to opportunities. Her primary industry focus lies in NAICS 334220 (radio and television broadcasting equipment), 336992 (military armored vehicle manufacturing), and 334511 (navigation and guidance systems), reflecting deep expertise in defense electronics, tactical communications, and armored systems integration. She routinely procures specialized components such as RF modules, sensor arrays, and embedded control systems, requiring familiarity with MIL-STD specifications and ITAR/EAR compliance frameworks. DiSalvo’s technical acumen enables her to effectively evaluate complex proposals and negotiate contracts for mission-essential technologies.
