John A DiJoseph

John A. DiJoseph serves as a key procurement professional at the Naval Aviation Depot Cherry Point, supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to sustain the readiness of U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aviation assets. He manages acquisitions for mission-critical aircraft propulsion systems, flight-critical components, and associated engineering services, ensuring compliance with defense logistics standards. His role centers on executing complex contract actions for overhaul, repair, and modernization of aircraft engines and related subsystems, aligning with the depot’s technical and operational imperatives. DiJoseph’s work directly enables the sustainment of fleet readiness through strategic sourcing of high-integrity, defense-qualified products and services. His contractor relationships are primarily with defense aerospace manufacturers and specialized engineering firms capable of meeting stringent military specifications for aircraft engine manufacturing and maintenance. He collaborates with vendors possessing AS9100 certification, ITAR compliance, and Department of Defense Quality Assurance Program credentials. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense contractors with proven track records in propulsion system sustainment, alongside qualified small businesses that meet technical and security requirements. DiJoseph’s procurement approach prioritizes open competition, with 86.7% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting the technical complexity and national security sensitivity of the requirements. He occasionally utilizes 8(a) and total small business set-asides, each accounting for 6.7% of awards, demonstrating measured but intentional support for socioeconomically disadvantaged and small business participants where capabilities align with mission needs. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), followed by Facilities Support Services and professional technical services. He routinely procures precision machining, avionics integration, non-destructive testing, and custom software development for maintenance logistics systems, underscoring deep expertise in aerospace sustainment and defense industrial base engagement.
