Marc A. Concilio

Marc A. Concilio serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance naval aviation readiness through specialized acquisitions in avionics, flight control systems, and diagnostic instrumentation. He manages complex contracting actions for high-performance aircraft components and mission-critical support technologies, ensuring alignment with operational requirements for next-generation naval air platforms. His portfolio encompasses research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) procurements, with a focus on integrating advanced systems that enhance aircraft sustainment and combat effectiveness. Concilio maintains consistent partnerships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc., and PCI Aviation LLC. These relationships are centered on the procurement of integrated avionics, embedded flight control hardware, and precision instrumentation systems. His contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and long-term sustainment support, often involving sole-source or limited-competition actions due to the proprietary nature of specialized naval aviation technologies. His procurement pattern reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 95.2% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation is limited, the 4.8% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts demonstrates selective engagement with certified small businesses when technical requirements align with their niche expertise. Concilio’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), reflecting deep expertise in airborne electronics, mission computing architectures, and real-time diagnostic systems. He routinely procures custom-built flight control modules, sensor fusion interfaces, and specialized test equipment, operating at the intersection of aerospace engineering and defense systems integration to support the Navy’s evolving airpower capabilities.
