Patrick Virgilio

Patrick J. Virgilio is a procurement professional specializing in aerospace and defense-related acquisitions, with a primary focus on advanced aviation systems and engineering services. He plays a critical role in executing complex contract actions that support national security and aerospace innovation, managing solicitations and award decisions for high-technology components and integrated systems. His work ensures alignment with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical requirements for airworthiness, reliability, and systems integration, typically overseeing contracts for aircraft subsystems, avionics, and precision instrumentation. Virgilio maintains a broad vendor base, engaging with prime contractors in aerospace manufacturing and engineering services, as well as specialized small businesses capable of delivering niche components and technical solutions. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven capability in precision manufacturing and systems engineering, while consistently incorporating small business participation through targeted set-asides. He fosters collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate technical maturity, quality compliance, and responsiveness to evolving defense and aviation standards. His procurement strategy prioritizes non-set-aside awards at 89.8%, yet maintains a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic programs, with consistent use of Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, alongside targeted HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. This balanced approach ensures competitive diversity while meeting mission performance requirements, reflecting a strategic alignment with federal small business goals without compromising technical rigor. Virgilio’s portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 334511 (Aeronautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), with significant activity in engineering services (541330). He routinely procures flight control systems, avionics modules, sensors, and supporting electronic components, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace systems integration, electromagnetic compatibility, and military-grade component qualification. His technical domain centers on the design, testing, and sustainment of mission-critical aviation hardware and supporting engineering solutions.
