Natalie Blascak

Natalie Blascak serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize Air Force operational readiness. She specializes in procuring professional services centered on systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), enterprise IT modernization, cybersecurity infrastructure, and mission analytics. Her acquisitions are strategically aligned with the agency’s priorities to enhance technical capability and administrative efficiency through non-personal services contracts, primarily under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and other flexible contracting vehicles. Natalie ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while supporting the Air Force’s digital transformation and mission resilience goals. She maintains consistent, long-term relationships with key contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, both of which provide high-value technical expertise in advanced analytics, systems integration, and research-driven solutions. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for partners with deep domain knowledge in defense-related IT and engineering services, often leveraging sole-source or limited competition pathways where justified under FAR 6.3. Natalie’s approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluation, and sustained vendor collaboration to meet evolving operational demands. Natalie demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively prioritizes socioeconomic programs that empower small businesses to compete for high-impact defense contracts, ensuring equitable access to opportunities in the federal technical services market. Her contracting strategy consistently aligns with Department of Defense mandates to strengthen the small business industrial base and foster innovation through diverse vendor engagement. Her procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS Code 511210, which encompasses software publishing and custom software development services. She procures specialized solutions in mission analytics, cybersecurity tooling, enterprise data platforms, and automated systems engineering support, requiring deep technical proficiency in defense-specific IT architectures. Natalie’s expertise lies in acquiring agile, scalable software capabilities that directly enhance Air Force decision-making and operational effectiveness.
