Alicia McPeters

Alicia McPeters supports the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division in executing critical procurement activities aligned with the sustainment and modernization of naval aviation systems. She manages complex acquisitions for advanced avionics, flight control instrumentation, diagnostic systems, and mission-critical support technologies essential to maintaining airworthiness and operational readiness. Her work directly enables the agency’s mission to develop and evaluate next-generation aircraft systems through rigorous test, evaluation, and integration of cutting-edge aerospace technologies. She typically handles sole-source, competitive, and other-than-full-and-open procurements under FAR Part 15, with a focus on technical specifications requiring specialized engineering and systems integration expertise. McPeters maintains longstanding relationships with leading defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc., and PCI Aviation LLC, among others. These partnerships are characterized by deep technical collaboration, long-term sustainment contracts, and iterative development cycles for high-reliability aerospace components. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, systems interoperability, and compliance with military specifications, often involving technical evaluations and source selection panels to ensure alignment with operational requirements. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 95.7% of awards issued without set-aside designation, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is limited, the 4.3% allocated to Total Small Business Set-Asides demonstrates selective engagement with qualified vendors capable of delivering specialized aviation systems under FAR 19.5. Her primary NAICS focus lies in Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (334519), with significant activity in Computer Systems Design Services (541512) and Engineering Services (541330). She procures custom instrumentation, embedded control systems, diagnostic software, and technical documentation services critical to aircraft maintenance and flight systems integration, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace electronics and systems engineering domains.
