Gina Piscitelli

Gina Piscitelli serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land at Aberdeen office, supporting the modernization and sustainment of land-based military platforms through the acquisition of mission-critical electro-mechanical and electronic systems. She manages contracts for signal processing components, avionics, radio and data transmission equipment, and power and control systems essential to command, control, and tactical operations. Her work directly enables operational readiness by ensuring timely delivery of high-reliability hardware that meets rigorous DoD performance and interoperability standards. Piscitelli maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Carson Industries, Inc., and Creating Technology Solutions, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in ruggedized electronics, embedded systems, and mission-specific power solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical collaboration, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor alignment with DLA’s sustainment objectives, fostering reliable supply chains for legacy and next-generation defense platforms. A strong advocate for small business participation, Piscitelli prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over 70% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to cultivate a diverse supplier base capable of delivering specialized components that larger contractors often cannot provide with the same agility or niche technical capability. Her contracting decisions consistently align with socioeconomic goals, enabling innovation from agile, specialized small firms. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing), 334112 (Computer Storage Device Manufacturing), and 335312 (Motor and Generator Manufacturing). She specializes in acquiring ruggedized embedded controllers, data storage units for field-deployed systems, and high-torque, low-voltage motors used in tactical vehicle subsystems. Her technical expertise spans electromechanical integration, thermal management in confined spaces, and MIL-STD compliance for harsh-environment operation.
