Marigil Sabado

Marigil Sabado serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding Officer’s office (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing strategic acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval aviation and electronic warfare systems. Their work directly supports operational readiness by securing mission-critical aerospace components, secure communications infrastructure, and advanced electronic assembly technologies. Sabado oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for high-integrity systems, including avionics, sensor suites, and cybersecurity-enabled data links, ensuring compliance with Navy technical standards and defense acquisition regulations. Their primary contractor relationships center on industry leaders such as Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and Lockheed Martin Corporation, with whom they collaborate on complex, technically demanding procurements for next-generation airborne systems. These partnerships reflect a preference for established defense primes capable of delivering integrated solutions under stringent military specifications, while maintaining rigorous oversight of performance, delivery timelines, and quality assurance protocols. Sabado demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 66.7% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity-building among small businesses in the defense industrial base, prioritizing participation from small disadvantaged, HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms where technically feasible. The office’s procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—reflecting a specialized technical domain centered on the integration of aerospace and electronic systems into naval platforms. Sabado’s expertise lies in procuring complex, mission-critical subsystems for carrier-based aircraft and electronic warfare platforms, requiring deep familiarity with MIL-STDs, DO-160 environmental standards, and DoD cybersecurity frameworks such as NIST SP 800-53.
