Sara "Ginger" Cyganiewicz

Sara “Ginger” Cyganiewicz serves as a key procurement lead within the Commander (M00264) under the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval warfighting systems. She specializes in contracting for advanced technical services supporting command and control architectures, tactical computing environments, and integrated sensor and communication platforms. Her work directly enables operational readiness by securing engineering, maintenance, and cyber-enabled support services essential to naval forces. Cyganiewicz handles complex, high-stakes procurements requiring deep technical vetting and systems integration expertise, ensuring alignment with Navy modernization priorities and cybersecurity standards. She maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors including GOLDBELT HAWK L.L.C., ALEX-ALTERNATIVE EXPERTS, LLC, TNDA TECHNOLOGIES INC., BC MARKET SOLUTIONS LLC, and BIOSPACE, INC. These vendors are frequently engaged for their niche capabilities in systems engineering, mission support, and technical advisory services tailored to naval operational needs. Her contracting approach favors established partners with proven performance in delivering mission-critical, low-latency solutions under stringent security and compliance frameworks, indicating a preference for reliability and domain-specific expertise over broad-market vendors. Cyganiewicz’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside designation. This signals a prioritization of technical merit and mission suitability over socioeconomic categorizations, aligning with the agency’s need for rapid, high-assurance capability delivery. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, her contracting patterns suggest a performance-driven selection process that values demonstrated capability above certification status. Her primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 811219—Other Technical and Industrial Services—encompassing specialized engineering support, systems integration, and mission-specific technical services. She consistently acquires services related to armored vehicle modernization, tactical data link integration, and cyber-resilient command systems, demonstrating deep expertise in defense electronics, real-time data architecture, and naval operational systems lifecycle support.
