Nathan Bergert

Nathan Bergert serves as a key procurement professional within the Georgia Defense Logistics Agency Aviation at Warner Robins, supporting the sustainment and modernization of critical U.S. military aviation systems. He manages complex acquisitions for high-integrity avionics, aircraft subsystems, and mission-critical electronic components essential to strategic platforms such as the C-5, B-52H, and RQ-4 Global Hawk. His work directly enables operational readiness by ensuring the timely delivery of certified, militarily-qualified parts that meet stringent DoD technical and quality standards. Bergert specializes in contracting for advanced electronic systems, flight control hardware, and legacy avionics upgrades, often navigating urgent requirement cycles tied to fleet-wide maintenance and modernization initiatives. He maintains longstanding contracting relationships with prime defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, L3Harris Technologies, Inc., and Raytheon Company, consistently engaging these industry leaders for integrated avionics solutions, sensor systems, and mission-critical electronic assemblies. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, technical compliance, and supply chain resilience, often leveraging blanket purchase agreements and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts to ensure continuous availability of hard-to-source components. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted under full and open competition—reflecting an 83.3% no set-aside rate—Bergert maintains a deliberate 16.7% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, fostering partnerships with qualified small manufacturers capable of meeting military specification requirements. His socioeconomic contracting strategy prioritizes technical capability over socio-economic classifications, ensuring small business participation aligns with mission-critical performance needs. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 336413 for other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, with secondary emphasis on instrument manufacturing for electrical testing (334515) and aircraft engine components (336412). He routinely procures flight computers, signal conditioners, power distribution units, and embedded avionics modules, demonstrating deep expertise in military aerospace electronics and systems integration.
