Craig L. Lueckenotto

Craig Lueckenotto serves as a Contract Specialist within the W7NJ USPFO Activity MO ARNG, a Department of the Army unit responsible for sustaining readiness across Army National Guard and active-duty forces. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for critical logistics, aviation support, and force services, ensuring timely delivery of aircraft components, meal services, and facility operations essential to mission continuity. His procurement portfolio emphasizes non-complex, high-volume contracts requiring rapid execution and compliance with federal acquisition regulations, particularly in support of operational tempo and deployability across the continental United States. Lueckenotto maintains consistent working relationships with key 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 specialized aviation maintenance, technical support services, and mission-critical logistics providers with proven performance in military environments. His contracting approach prioritizes reliability, responsiveness, and technical alignment with operational requirements, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance-based outcomes and contract compliance. He demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of his acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5, and a significant portion allocated to women-owned small businesses. While service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses represent a smaller share, his contracting patterns reflect deliberate socioeconomic targeting consistent with Department of Defense mandates. His approach ensures broad vendor engagement while maintaining competitive integrity and regulatory adherence. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 721110 (hotels and motels) and 722320 (caterers), underscoring his expertise in force support services such as lodging and dining for training and deployment cycles. He also manages contracts under 811310 for industrial equipment maintenance and 339920 for athletic and recreational gear, reflecting a unique blend of hospitality, logistics, and light manufacturing support critical to sustaining readiness in garrison and field environments.
