Randy Zielinski

Randy Zielinski serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding Officer’s office (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval aviation and electronic warfare systems. His work centers on securing mission-critical aerospace components, secure communications infrastructure, and advanced electronic assembly technologies essential to maintaining operational readiness. Zielinski oversees the full lifecycle of contracts—from solicitation to award—ensuring compliance with DoD acquisition regulations and aligning procurements with the Navy’s strategic modernization goals for sensor systems and cybersecurity-enabled platforms. His primary contractor relationships are anchored with industry leaders such as Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and Lockheed Martin Corporation, reflecting a preference for established defense aerospace primes with proven capabilities in high-reliability electronics and avionics integration. While these major contractors dominate award volume, Zielinski’s portfolio also includes a diverse ecosystem of specialized vendors delivering niche engineering services and mission-critical hardware, fostering a balanced supply chain that prioritizes technical precision and rapid sustainment. Zielinski maintains a strict and consistent commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate innovation from small, agile firms capable of delivering specialized components and rapid prototyping services, ensuring broad socioeconomic inclusion while maintaining mission-critical performance standards. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS categories including 532412 (specialized equipment leasing for maintenance and deployment support), 334111 (electronic computer manufacturing for embedded systems), and 334310 (audio/video equipment manufacturing for tactical communication interfaces). These reflect deep technical expertise in procuring ruggedized electronics, sensor assemblies, and field-deployable communication hardware tailored to naval aviation environments.
