Olga G. Khazanov

Olga G. Khazanov serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc-rsa under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize the U.S. Army’s aerial and missile defense systems. She manages the full lifecycle of complex procurements for advanced aerospace platforms, including avionics, propulsion systems, and sensor integration for platforms such as the UH-60 and AH-64 Apache. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic imperative to enhance operational readiness through cutting-edge aerospace technology, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned technical specifications. Khazanov maintains consistent, high-volume contracting relationships with industry leaders including Lockheed Martin Corporation and Alaska Aerospace Corp, partnering primarily with prime contractors possessing deep expertise in defense aerospace manufacturing and systems integration. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and long-term sustainment planning, fostering collaborative relationships with vendors capable of delivering mission-essential capabilities under stringent military standards. Her contracting portfolio reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. This underscores her alignment with the agency’s priority to source the most capable, technologically advanced solutions from the broadest possible industrial base, rather than limiting competition through socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, she ensures all procurements adhere to fair and transparent competition principles. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), where she specializes in acquiring complete aircraft systems, subsystems, and associated mission support services. Her technical domain expertise spans advanced flight control systems, radar and electro-optical sensor integration, and missile defense component procurement, positioning her as a key steward of the Army’s aerial combat and air defense modernization initiatives.
