Krystalyn Wacyra

Krystalyn Wacyra supports the Federal Aviation Administration’s 693KA7 Enroute & Terminal Contracts unit in procuring critical modernization efforts for the National Airspace System. She manages complex acquisitions focused on upgrading legacy air traffic control infrastructure, including radar, surveillance, navigation, and automation systems essential to en route and terminal operations. Her work ensures the deployment of next-generation avionics and integrated control platforms that enhance safety, capacity, and resilience across the U.S. air traffic network. She handles full lifecycle contracting for high-technology systems, from requirements definition through contract administration, with a strong emphasis on technical performance and system interoperability. Wacyra maintains a primary working relationship with SAAB INC, a key provider of advanced air traffic management solutions, including surveillance and automation platforms. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established defense and aerospace contractors with proven expertise in mission-critical avionics. While she engages with a limited set of prime vendors, her approach emphasizes technical alignment, systems integration capability, and sustained support infrastructure, fostering long-term partnerships built on reliability and compliance with FAA operational standards. Wacyra’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven priority to source the most technically capable solutions without restriction, consistent with the FAA’s need for rapid, secure, and interoperable upgrades to national infrastructure. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, her portfolio may include small business subcontractors integrated into prime contractor teams for specialized components. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 334511, targeting aeronautical navigation and guidance systems, including radar, ADS-B, and precision approach equipment. She also procures related electronic assemblies under NAICS 334418 and specialized lighting systems under 335139 for airport and control tower applications. Her expertise lies in acquiring hardened, FAA-certified hardware and software systems that meet stringent aviation safety and environmental standards.
