He routinely engages with vendors possessing deep domain knowledge in avionics, simulation systems, and air transportation support, fostering collaborative relationships grounded in accountability and mission alignment. McAughan’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued without set-aside designations.
