James P. Lisciandri serves as a procurement professional specializing in advanced aerospace and defense systems acquisitions, managing complex contracting actions for high-technology components critical to national security and aviation systems. His work centers on the acquisition of mission-critical hardware and instrumentation, aligning with the agency’s mission to ensure operational readiness through reliable, cutting-edge aerospace capabilities. He routinely handles sole-source, competitive, and set-aside procurements under FAR Part 15, with a focus on technical evaluations and source selection for precision-engineered subsystems used in aircraft, guided missiles, and space platforms. Lisciandri maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, including manufacturers of avionics, propulsion units, and navigation systems. He engages with both large prime contractors and specialized small businesses capable of delivering custom-engineered components under strict military specifications. His contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, supply chain resilience, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in quality assurance and innovation. His procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 76.9% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, he consistently supports small business participation, allocating approximately 17.9% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with additional allocations to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned and HUBZone small businesses, demonstrating a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising technical requirements. Lisciandri’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), 334511 (Aeronautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), and related categories including propulsion systems and guided missile components. He procures precision avionics, flight control interfaces, sensor suites, and totalizing fluid meters used in defense and aerospace platforms, showcasing deep expertise in systems integration, electronic warfare support, and space vehicle subsystems. His domain knowledge ensures acquisitions meet stringent performance, reliability, and interoperability standards.
