Joshua Yacobucci serves as a key procurement professional within the NASA Shared Services Center, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain cutting-edge scientific operations through strategic acquisition of mission-enabling services. He specializes in managing contracts for high-precision engineering services critical to NASA’s research infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s technical and operational priorities. His portfolio centers on the design, integration, and support of advanced computational systems and analytical instrumentation, directly enabling NASA’s aeronautics and space exploration missions. Yacobucci maintains consistent working relationships with NEXTROW INC and PENN OAK SERVICES LLC, both of which provide specialized engineering support tailored to NASA’s unique technical requirements. These partnerships reflect a pattern of sustained collaboration with vendors capable of delivering niche, high-integrity services in areas such as systems engineering, test and evaluation, and technical analysis. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, technical proficiency, and responsiveness to evolving mission needs, fostering trusted, performance-driven relationships with a select group of qualified contractors. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Yacobucci directs 100% of his procurement activity toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring that opportunities for innovation and capacity building are accessible to qualified small firms. This commitment reflects a deliberate socioeconomic strategy to cultivate a diverse, agile supplier base capable of meeting NASA’s demanding technical standards while promoting equitable economic opportunity within the federal contracting ecosystem. His primary focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where he procures specialized technical services including systems design, instrumentation support, and mission-critical engineering analysis. These acquisitions support the development and maintenance of advanced scientific platforms, emphasizing precision, reliability, and compliance with NASA’s stringent technical and safety protocols.
