Adeline Maissonet

Adeline Maissonet serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), where she plays a pivotal role in executing the lifecycle acquisition of critical naval aviation systems. Her responsibilities encompass the full spectrum of contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—for complex aerospace and defense platforms. She supports NAVAIR’s mission to maintain air superiority by ensuring timely, compliant, and cost-effective procurement of advanced aircraft, avionics, weapons systems, and sustainment services for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Her portfolio primarily involves sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15, with a focus on technical and logistics-intensive contracts requiring rigorous performance and risk management. Maissonet maintains longstanding procurement relationships with industry leaders such as Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with prime contractors who deliver cutting-edge aerial platforms, unmanned systems, and mission-critical avionics. She also collaborates with specialized logistics and training providers like Global Air Logistics and Training, Inc., ensuring integrated support solutions for fleet readiness. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and close coordination with technical and program offices to align contractual requirements with operational needs. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with nearly half of her awards structured as no set-aside to accommodate large-scale, complex acquisitions, while a combined 50% of her contracts are reserved for small businesses—equally divided between total small business set-asides and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) set-asides. This pattern underscores her dedication to fostering competition and expanding opportunities for qualified small entities within the defense industrial base. Maissonet’s technical focus centers on NAICS 334511 for aeronautical system manufacturing, 541330 for engineering services, and 336611 for shipbuilding and repair. She routinely procures radar and navigation systems, flight control software, maintenance support services, and integrated logistics solutions, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace engineering, systems integration, and naval platform sustainment.
