Marc A. Concilio

Marc 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 acquisition of advanced avionics, flight control systems, and diagnostic instrumentation. He manages complex contracts for mission-critical aerospace technologies, ensuring timely delivery of high-performance components that enhance aircraft sustainment and operational effectiveness. His work directly enables the development and integration of next-generation naval airpower by aligning procurement strategy with technical requirements for testing, evaluation, and field deployment. Concilio maintains consistent relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc., and PCI Aviation LLC. He routinely collaborates with Tier 1 systems integrators and niche technology providers specializing in avionics, communications hardware, and mission-critical instrumentation. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven capabilities in ruggedized, military-grade electronic systems, often requiring stringent compliance with MIL-STD and DO-160 standards. His procurement portfolio shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical capability and performance over socioeconomic criteria, prioritizing rapid delivery and system interoperability in support of time-sensitive naval aviation programs. Concilio’s primary acquisition focus lies in NAICS 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing), encompassing mission-specific display systems, cockpit instrumentation, and data acquisition hardware. He also procures related systems under NAICS 334511 for aeronautical navigation and guidance equipment, and 334290 for specialized communications platforms. His expertise centers on high-reliability electronic components engineered for harsh operational environments, ensuring compatibility with naval aircraft platforms such as the F/A-18, E-2, and MH-60 series.
