Fedelino Dino

Fedelino Dino supports the FA9302 AFTC PZZ mission by managing critical procurement activities focused on advanced airborne systems, next-generation avionics, and mission-critical wireless communications infrastructure. As a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s test and evaluation ecosystem, he oversees the acquisition of specialized aeronautical components, radio and navigation systems, and flight test instrumentation essential to sustaining air dominance capabilities. His portfolio centers on high-precision technical acquisitions that enable rapid prototyping, system integration, and operational validation for next-generation aircraft platforms. Dino maintains consistent working relationships with specialized contractors including CARAHSOFT TECHNOLOGY CORP, STIRLING DYNAMICS LIMITED, and AANTILIA LLC, firms known for their expertise in secure wireless communications, embedded avionics, and rapid prototyping of flight-critical hardware. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for technically capable vendors with proven experience in defense-grade systems development, often engaging firms capable of meeting stringent MIL-STD and DO-178C compliance requirements. These partnerships are characterized by iterative collaboration, rapid delivery cycles, and deep technical alignment with test range modernization objectives. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to fostering innovation through small business participation. While the majority of acquisitions are open competition, he consistently prioritizes small business eligibility and capability when technical requirements permit, aligning with Air Force initiatives to broaden the defense industrial base. Dino’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 334220 for radio and wireless communications equipment, 332439 for specialized metal container manufacturing used in ruggedized avionics enclosures, and 335312 for motor and generator systems supporting airborne power distribution. His expertise spans the integration of secure RF systems, electromagnetic compatibility solutions, and mission-critical power subsystems essential to flight test and evaluation operations.
