Roger Ciarleglio

Roger Ciarleglio serves as a key procurement lead within the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, supporting the development and sustainment of advanced naval aviation systems. He manages complex acquisitions for mission-critical avionics, electronic warfare systems, and flight training technologies, ensuring alignment with the Navy’s strategic priorities in air superiority and fleet readiness. His role involves end-to-end contract execution under FAR and DFARS guidelines, with a focus on integrating cutting-edge sensor suites and mission systems into next-generation aircraft platforms. Ciarleglio’s portfolio emphasizes technical innovation, rapid prototyping, and legacy system modernization, requiring close coordination with engineering and operational stakeholders to meet rigorous military specifications. He maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense contractors including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, THE BOEING COMPANY, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, SYSTEMS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS, INC., and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC. These partnerships span systems integration, software development, and specialized manufacturing, reflecting a balanced approach between large prime contractors and niche technical vendors. Ciarleglio’s contracting patterns favor collaborative, performance-based acquisitions that emphasize technical risk mitigation and sustained support for complex airborne platforms. Ciarleglio demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of his awards structured as 8(a) competed set-asides and the other half as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach ensures robust participation from small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, reinforcing the Navy’s mandate for equitable access to defense contracting opportunities. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 611512 (Flight Training), reflecting deep expertise in mission software development, digital engineering, and pilot training system integration. He regularly procures advanced simulation environments, embedded avionics software, cybersecurity-enabled communication modules, and adaptive flight training solutions tailored to next-generation naval aircraft.
