Area residence earn Department of Defense Mentor Protégé Program agreement through ARINC to support emerging supplier to Navy.

September 8, 2003, ARINC Engineering Services, LLC, Annapolis, Maryland, and Integrated Consultants, both in San Diego, County, California, are pleased to announce that the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (SADBU), has approved their Mentor-Protégé agreement. This action by OSD enters the companies into the Department of Defense Mentor Protégé Program, created in 1990 to help small, and disadvantaged businesses, compete for subcontracts and prime contracts.

The agreement was submitted through the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), SADBU office in San Diego, California and endorsed by the Department of the Navy SADBU office. SPAWAR’s Small Business Program leads the Navy in their support to Small Business. The agreement will be funded by OSD SADBU under ARINC’s Navigation Development Contract with SPAWAR Systems Center, San Diego.

ARINC, a world leader in navigation and communication systems engineering, has developed a program to grow Integrated Consultants into a valued supplier to the Navy by emphasizing the use of commercial equipment in military systems.

Integrated Consultants is a woman-owned business that maintains a certified Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) office in National City, CA. The emerging small business specializes in the Applied Mechanics of Rugged Prototype Apparatus, and Forensic Engineering Services.

Integrated Consultants is owned and operated by Debra (Hamlin) Aberizk, a former Carson City, NV native, and David K. Aberizk, a former Lawrence, MA native. They resided together in the Greater Lawrence Area for 18 years before relocating to San Diego, CA in 1999. Their last area residence was in Windham, NH with their daughters Diana, Michelle, and Allison. Married daughter Lisa Turner resides in Atkinson, NH with her husband Mathew.

“We are honored and appreciative of the collective endorsement action taken by the many individuals within the Department of Defense, the Department of the Navy, and ARINC Corporation, to further support the growth of our technical capabilities to become a valued supplier to the Navy for engineered contract activities.

For a husband and wife team to be identified by the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, San Diego, as a program suitable emerging small business, is such a significant milestone for Debra, myself, and Integrated Consultants. With our core engineering capabilities, deemed adequate to build on, we look forward to developmental assistance from ARINC, to mature our managerial, contractual, and technical capabilities.”

Debra Aberizk earned a Bachelor of Science Degree, with high honors in Accounting, from Franklin Pierce College, Rindge, NH, in 1989. David Aberizk graduated from Lawrence High School, in 1965, earned an Associate in Aeronautical Engineering from Wentworth College, Boston, MA, in 1967, and a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, MA, in 1970.
