Margaret Sutsko

Margaret Sutsko serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisitions within the aerospace and defense technology sector. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering mission-critical systems for national security and aviation applications. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts—from market research and solicitation to award and performance management—focusing on high-precision instrumentation and guidance systems. Her expertise lies in navigating technical requirements for advanced aeronautical and navigation equipment, ensuring acquisitions align with operational readiness and regulatory standards. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Sutsko routinely engages with prime contractors and subcontractors possessing specialized engineering capabilities in avionics, sensor integration, and mission-critical system design. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established industry participants with proven technical credentials and robust quality assurance systems, including firms certified under AS9100 and ITAR compliance frameworks. She maintains a results-driven, risk-managed approach to vendor selection, prioritizing technical merit, past performance, and delivery reliability over cost alone. Sutsko’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, indicating a focus on full and open competition. This pattern suggests she prioritizes technical capability and system performance over socioeconomic classifications, aligning with mission-critical procurement needs where specialized expertise is paramount. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach remains compliant with all applicable socioeconomic statutes, ensuring equitable opportunity where technically feasible. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 334511, which encompasses the manufacturing of search, detection, navigation, guidance, aeronautical, and nautical systems and instruments. She procures advanced radar systems, inertial navigation units, flight control instruments, and integrated avionics suites, requiring deep technical understanding of electromagnetic sensing, signal processing, and aerospace-grade reliability standards. Her domain expertise ensures acquisitions meet stringent performance, environmental, and interoperability requirements for defense and aviation applications.
