Gregory Szczyglowski

Gregory Szczyglowski serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions for mission-critical naval aviation systems. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, he ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract strategies with NAWCAD’s mission to advance the readiness and sustainment of next-generation aircraft platforms. His portfolio primarily consists of specialized procurements in avionics, flight control systems, diagnostic instrumentation, and aircraft auxiliary equipment, all essential to maintaining operational superiority in naval airpower. Gregory maintains established working relationships with leading defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc., PCI Aviation LLC, Critical Communications, Controls and Instruments, LLC, and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC. These partnerships reflect a consistent focus on high-technology suppliers capable of delivering precision-engineered components and integrated systems for advanced aircraft platforms. His approach emphasizes technical collaboration, performance-based contracting, and rigorous oversight to ensure deliverables meet stringent military specifications. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Gregory exclusively utilizes Total Small Business Set-Aside authorities under FAR 19.5, ensuring all procurements are reserved for qualified small businesses. This reflects a deep institutional commitment to fostering innovation and capacity within the small business industrial base, particularly among firms with niche expertise in aerospace subsystems and mission-critical instrumentation. His procurement focus is narrowly concentrated on NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—reflecting his specialization in procuring non-airframe components such as sensors, control actuators, diagnostic interfaces, and support hardware integral to aircraft systems sustainment. Gregory’s expertise lies in navigating the technical complexities of aerospace supply chains to secure reliable, high-integrity components for naval aviation platforms.
