Alysea Richman

Alysea Richman serves as a Contracting Aide at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division (N00421), supporting the procurement of mission-critical aviation systems essential to naval air superiority and fleet readiness. In this role, she assists in the full lifecycle management of acquisitions, from requirement validation and solicitation development to contract award and administration. Her work directly enables the integration of advanced avionics, electronic warfare systems, and mission-critical aircraft subsystems into next-generation platforms. Richman primarily handles complex technical procurements under FAR Part 15, focusing on competitive sealed bidding and negotiated contracts for specialized hardware and software solutions. She maintains consistent working relationships with key industry partners 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 large prime contractors delivering integrated systems and specialized engineering firms providing niche components and technical support. Richman facilitates collaborative contract execution, ensuring alignment with technical specifications and delivery timelines for high-priority aviation modernization initiatives. Richman’s procurement portfolio reflects an even split between open competition and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. While no other set-aside categories are predominant, her consistent use of small business set-asides ensures meaningful opportunities for qualified small businesses to participate in naval aviation technology development. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively within NAICS 334118—Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing—indicating deep specialization in the acquisition of ruggedized computing hardware, data processing units, and embedded peripheral systems used in naval aircraft. This technical domain requires expertise in MIL-STD compliance, electromagnetic compatibility, and real-time embedded systems integration, underscoring her role in sustaining and modernizing the Navy’s airborne computing infrastructure.
