Sakina A Swenson

Sakina A. Swenson serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding Officer (N63394) of the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval aviation and electronic warfare systems. She oversees the procurement of mission-critical aerospace components, secure communications infrastructure, and advanced electronic assembly services essential to maintaining operational readiness. Her portfolio centers on engineering support services and technical integration for aircraft systems, with a strong emphasis on cybersecurity-enabled platforms and sensor modernization. Swenson’s acquisitions directly support the Navy’s strategic imperatives to enhance airborne electronic warfare capabilities and ensure resilient, next-generation avionics. Her primary contractor relationships are anchored by long-standing partnerships with Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and Lockheed Martin Corporation, both of which provide specialized engineering, systems integration, and mission-critical hardware solutions. These relationships reflect a preference for Tier-1 defense contractors capable of delivering complex, high-reliability systems under strict military specifications, while also enabling rapid prototyping and field-deployable upgrades. Swenson’s contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, lifecycle support, and performance-based outcomes aligned with Navy aviation standards. Swenson maintains a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside policy across her acquisition portfolio, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting under FAR 19.5. She consistently channels opportunities to small businesses, ensuring broad participation from certified vendors across all socioeconomic categories, including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB firms. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to foster innovation through agile small business partners while maintaining compliance with Department of Defense small business goals. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 561990 (All Other Support Services), which encompasses mission-critical engineering, technical analysis, and systems integration services, and NAICS 811219, covering specialized repair and maintenance of electronic and electro-mechanical assemblies. These categories reflect deep expertise in sustaining avionics, electronic warfare suites, and secure communication modules critical to naval air operations.
