Alexandra Laigle

Alexandra Laigle serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), where she plays a critical role in executing the lifecycle acquisition of naval aviation systems. She manages complex contract actions for the development, testing, and sustainment of aircraft, propulsion systems, avionics, and supporting logistics infrastructure. Her work directly supports NAVAIR’s mission to maintain air superiority through the modernization of carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft fleets. Laigle routinely handles full and open competitive procurements under FAR and DFARS frameworks, with a focus on technical, engineering, and logistics services essential to naval air readiness. She maintains sustained working relationships with leading defense prime contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering on high-priority programs involving rotary-wing and fixed-wing platforms, unmanned aerial systems, and mission-critical avionics. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, integrated logistics support, and technical risk mitigation, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to ensure system readiness and operational reliability across the Navy and Marine Corps fleets. Laigle’s contracting portfolio is exclusively composed of full and open competitions, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects NAVAIR’s strategic emphasis on leveraging the broadest industrial base to meet mission-critical technical requirements, prioritizing capability and schedule over socioeconomic preferences in this domain. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), and 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation). She specializes in acquiring advanced propulsion systems, flight control hardware, maintenance support services, and air transportation logistics solutions, demonstrating deep technical fluency in naval aviation systems engineering and sustainment operations.
