Aimee Soderberg

Aimee Soderberg serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, supporting the development and sustainment of advanced naval aviation systems. She manages complex acquisitions for mission-critical avionics, electronic warfare subsystems, and integrated communications platforms, ensuring alignment with the Navy’s strategic priorities in air superiority and fleet readiness. Her work spans the full lifecycle of defense contracts—from requirements definition to contract award and administration—focusing on cutting-edge technologies that enhance sensor fusion, signal processing, and airborne mission systems. Soderberg plays a vital role in translating technical needs into executable procurement strategies that support rapid modernization while maintaining operational continuity for legacy platforms. She maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors, including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, THE BOEING COMPANY, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, SYSTEMS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS, INC., and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC. These partnerships reflect a blend of prime contractor engagement for large-scale integration efforts and specialized subcontracting for niche engineering services. Soderberg’s contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and long-term sustainment planning, fostering collaborative relationships with vendors capable of delivering high-assurance, mission-critical solutions under stringent naval standards. Aimee Soderberg demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 60% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate innovation from emerging defense technology firms and ensure broad industry participation across the naval aviation supply chain. Her contracting patterns prioritize socioeconomic programs that empower small businesses with the technical capability to support advanced avionics and systems engineering tasks. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), underscoring deep expertise in software development, systems integration, and mission-critical data services for airborne platforms. She regularly procures embedded software, signal processing algorithms, cybersecurity-enabled communications suites, and digital mission system architectures that underpin next-generation naval aircraft capabilities.
