Jack Hagopian

Jack Hagopian serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex defense and aerospace procurement actions, ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific regulations. He plays a critical role in executing competitive acquisitions for high-precision components and subsystems used in military and commercial aviation systems. His portfolio primarily encompasses the solicitation, evaluation, award, and administration of contracts for specialized aerospace hardware, including avionics, engine parts, and printed circuit boards. Hagopian’s expertise lies in navigating technical specifications, conducting market research, and ensuring acquisition strategies align with national security and industrial base priorities. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Hagopian maintains a robust network of Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers specializing in aerospace manufacturing, including firms with AS9100 and ITAR certifications. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established industrial partners with proven track records in precision engineering and supply chain resilience. He consistently engages with vendors capable of meeting stringent military standards for reliability, traceability, and quality control, fostering long-term partnerships that support sustained operational readiness. Hagopian’s contracting approach is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 96.3% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a mission-critical focus on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. However, he maintains a consistent, albeit modest, commitment to small business participation, with 3.7% of awards directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach—prioritizing performance and readiness while still supporting the broader small business ecosystem in advanced manufacturing. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), followed by 334412 (Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing) and 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing). He specializes in acquiring mission-critical components such as flight control actuators, sensor housings, and engine combustion systems, demonstrating deep technical fluency in aerospace systems integration and high-reliability manufacturing processes.
