Dragan Rasic serves as a key procurement lead within the FA8604 Aflcmc Pzi unit of the Department of the Air Force, overseeing acquisitions that enable aerospace logistics modernization and mission-critical maintenance sustainment. He manages a portfolio of contracts focused on advanced manufacturing, engineering services, and automated software systems that enhance the operational readiness of Air Force platforms. His work directly supports the Air Force Materiel Command’s strategic goals in digital maintenance workflows, material handling modernization, and embedded systems integration. Rasic specializes in complex, technically demanding procurements requiring deep domain expertise in aerospace logistics and industrial automation. He maintains longstanding relationships with industry leaders such as General Electric Company, ANSYS Government Initiatives Inc., and U.S. Materials Handling Corporation, partnering with firms capable of delivering high-assurance engineering solutions, simulation tools, and automated material transport systems. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and technical task orders to ensure agile responsiveness to evolving operational needs. Rasic consistently engages with vendors possessing specialized certifications in defense-grade software development and aerospace-grade manufacturing. Rasic’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 87.5% of awards issued without set-asides, aligning with the technical complexity and scale of required capabilities.
