Paul n Bonsiero

Paul Bonsiero serves as a key procurement professional within the Strategic Systems Programs (N00030), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to ensure the reliability and operational readiness of the U.S. sea-based nuclear deterrent. He manages complex acquisitions for systems engineering, test and evaluation, and integration of submarine-launched ballistic missile systems, strategic weapons platforms, and associated command, control, and communications infrastructure. His work directly enables lifecycle management of critical national security assets, with a focus on high-integrity, mission-critical contracts requiring rigorous technical oversight and compliance with defense acquisition regulations. Bonsiero maintains long-standing relationships with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc., and Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc., all of which provide advanced engineering, systems integration, and propulsion technologies essential to strategic deterrence. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense industrial base partners with proven capabilities in nuclear-grade systems development, often leveraging Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and cost-reimbursement contract types to accommodate technical uncertainty and long-term program needs. His procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 93.3% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the specialized nature and national security sensitivity of the systems acquired. Only 6.7% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides, indicating a targeted but limited use of socioeconomic programs, consistent with the technical exclusivity of strategic deterrent programs. The primary NAICS codes under his purview are 541330 (Engineering Services), which dominates his portfolio, followed by 336415 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Propulsion) and 334513 (Industrial Process Control Instruments). These reflect a deep technical focus on systems engineering, propulsion unit manufacturing, and precision instrumentation for nuclear deterrent platforms, underscoring his expertise in high-stakes, defense-critical acquisition domains.
