Craig L. Lueckenotto

Craig L. Lueckenotto serves as a key procurement lead within the W7NJ USPFO Activity MO ARNG, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain operational readiness for Army National Guard and active-duty units. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on aviation component logistics, facility support, and meal services critical to maintaining mission tempo across continental U.S. installations. His work ensures timely delivery of essential equipment and services through compliant, performance-based contracting practices, aligning procurement actions with Army sustainment objectives and federal acquisition regulations. Lueckenotto maintains consistent relationships with specialized contractors including Columbia Helicopters, Inc., Axxeum Inc., Associated Aircraft Manufacturing & Sales, Inc., Crestwood Technology Group, LLC, and Brightwater UAG, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche suppliers with expertise in aircraft maintenance, technical support, and force service solutions. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, leveraging technical proficiency and reliability over broad-market bidding, resulting in stable, mission-critical supply chains. He demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 45% of his awards designated for small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and significant participation from service-disabled veteran-owned and HUBZone small businesses. His pattern of award distribution reflects a deliberate strategy to empower underrepresented small businesses while maintaining high standards for mission-critical performance and compliance. His procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 236220 (commercial building construction), 722320 (catering services), and 333415 (commercial refrigeration and HVAC systems), alongside specialized fabrication and office supply manufacturing. This indicates deep expertise in integrated facility sustainment, aviation support infrastructure, and force readiness services—requiring precise technical specifications and stringent quality controls to meet military operational demands.
