Mary DiAngelo

Mary DiAngelo serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, where she plays a critical role in executing complex acquisitions for advanced naval aviation systems. She manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—for mission-critical avionics, electronic warfare subsystems, and aircraft auxiliary equipment. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to modernize airborne sensor suites and sustain legacy platforms, ensuring operational readiness across the fleet. DiAngelo specializes in technical procurements requiring rigorous compliance with DoD acquisition regulations, often involving high-integrity systems with stringent certification and testing requirements. She maintains longstanding relationships with leading defense contractors including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, THE BOEING COMPANY, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, SYSTEMS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS, INC., and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC. These partnerships are characterized by deep technical collaboration, with vendors providing specialized engineering services, flight-critical hardware, and integrated system solutions. DiAngelo consistently engages these firms on competitive, full-and-open procurements, leveraging their proven expertise in aerospace systems integration and mission systems development. DiAngelo’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full-and-open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-asides. While she does not currently utilize socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach emphasizes technical merit, past performance, and capability over socioeconomic categorization, aligning with the Navy’s priority for mission-critical performance and rapid fielding. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—where she procures components such as mission computers, data links, radar interfaces, and electronic countermeasure subsystems. She also handles acquisitions under NAICS 336411 for aircraft integration and modification. DiAngelo’s expertise centers on high-reliability avionics, secure communications, and embedded systems, making her a key liaison between engineering teams and industry partners in delivering next-generation naval air capabilities.
