James Delia

James Delia serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisitions in defense and aerospace technical domains. He plays a critical role in executing the agency’s procurement mission by ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical engineering and systems capabilities. His portfolio primarily consists of full and open competitions involving high-precision instrumentation, guided missile components, and advanced aeronautical systems. Delia oversees the full lifecycle of contracts—from market research and solicitation through award and performance management—ensuring technical requirements are met with rigorous oversight and accountability. While no specific contractor relationships are identifiable due to limited public data, Delia routinely engages with prime contractors and specialized subcontractors possessing expertise in defense-grade engineering and aerospace manufacturing. His procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding among qualified vendors with proven technical capabilities, fostering a transparent and compliant acquisition environment. He maintains a preference for established industry partners with relevant certifications and demonstrated performance in high-stakes technical environments. Delia’s contracting activity is exclusively conducted under full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a strategic alignment with mission requirements that prioritize technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic targeting, though small businesses are not excluded from competition. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where he secures systems design and technical analysis support; NAICS 336419 (Other Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Parts), for specialized defense components; and NAICS 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, and Aeronautical Systems), for mission-critical avionics and sensor systems. Delia’s expertise centers on procurements requiring stringent compliance with MIL-STD and DoD technical standards, ensuring the delivery of reliable, high-integrity systems for national security applications.
