William C. Burger

William C. Burger serves as a Procurement Technician at the Naval Air Warfare Center (N68936), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance naval aviation systems through research, development, and evaluation of mission-critical technologies. In this role, he facilitates the acquisition of specialized electronics, avionics, and sensor systems essential to airborne command and control, mission planning, and avionics modernization. His responsibilities include managing the procurement lifecycle for technical contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and coordinating with engineering and program offices to align sourcing strategies with operational requirements. He primarily handles complex, high-technology acquisitions involving advanced instrumentation, semiconductor components, and software-enabled test systems. Burger maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., SAIC, Teya Support Services LLC, and Kranze Technology Solutions Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on integrating cutting-edge engineering services, systems integration, and technical support for naval aviation platforms. His procurement approach emphasizes technical precision, risk mitigation, and performance-based contracting, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to meet stringent military specifications and rapid prototyping demands. His contracting activity shows a strong preference for open competition, with 93.3% of awards issued without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is present at 6.7%, it is primarily achieved through total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a prioritization of technical merit over socioeconomic preferences. Burger’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 334515 (instrument manufacturing for electrical signal testing) and 334413 (semiconductor device manufacturing), with additional emphasis on R&D in physical and engineering sciences (541712). He procures specialized test equipment, embedded systems, signal processors, and peripheral computing hardware critical to avionics development, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense electronics supply chains and mission-critical instrumentation procurement.
