Eric Pfefferkorn

Eric Pfefferkorn serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (N61340), where he plays a pivotal role in acquiring advanced simulation, avionics, and mission-critical training systems essential to naval aviation readiness. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for complex technical solutions, including immersive training environments, flight simulation hardware, and curriculum-integrated learning platforms. His work directly supports the Department of the Navy’s strategic imperative to modernize pilot and aircrew training through cutting-edge technologies and integrated operational environments. Pfefferkorn maintains enduring partnerships with key contractors including STRACON SERVICES GROUP, LLC and FLIGHTSAFETY INTERNATIONAL INC, both of which provide high-fidelity flight simulators, training system integration, and instructional design services. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based outcomes, and technical compliance with military training standards. He routinely engages with industry partners capable of delivering scalable, secure, and interoperable training solutions aligned with Navy aviation doctrine. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of his acquisitions set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5, and the other half competed without restriction. This pattern underscores his dedication to fostering competition while ensuring robust small business involvement across the training systems supply chain. Pfefferkorn’s primary NAICS focus includes 611511 (Cosmetology and Barber Schools)—a misclassification likely reflecting data anomalies—and 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), 541330 (Engineering Services), and 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing). His technical domain centers on defense training systems, simulation infrastructure, and avionics integration, demonstrating deep expertise in procuring mission-critical educational technology and systems engineering services tailored to naval aviation operational needs.
