Nick Lebano

Nick Lebano serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-rsa unit of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain and modernize the Army’s aerial and missile defense systems. He oversees the acquisition of mission-critical aerospace support services, ensuring the operational readiness of platforms such as the UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache. His portfolio centers on technical integration, avionics modernization, propulsion system maintenance, and sensor calibration services essential to air mobility and air defense missions. Lebano plays a pivotal role in translating operational requirements into solicitation strategies that align with Army aviation modernization priorities. Lebano maintains a broad network of industry partners specializing in aerospace support activities, including defense contractors with deep expertise in aircraft sustainment, systems integration, and logistics support for military rotorcraft and missile defense assets. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages firms with proven capabilities in maintenance, repair, overhaul, and technical services for Army aviation platforms. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term service agreements, and technical compliance with military specifications. Lebano’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted under non-set-aside authorities. He does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead focusing on selecting the most technically qualified vendors regardless of socioeconomic status. This approach ensures rapid access to specialized aerospace expertise critical to mission timelines and readiness goals. His primary technical focus lies within NAICS 488190—Other Support Activities for Air Transportation—encompassing aircraft maintenance, ground support equipment services, flightline logistics, and mission-specific technical support. He procures services that sustain avionics, flight control systems, and propulsion components, requiring deep domain knowledge in military aerospace operations and defense logistics frameworks.
