Alyssa Burch

Alyssa Burch serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the acquisition and sustainment of critical naval aviation systems. She manages complex contracts for advanced aircraft components and auxiliary equipment, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s lifecycle management mission for carrier-based and expeditionary aviation platforms. Her work directly enables the modernization of naval airpower by facilitating the development, testing, and fielding of mission-critical avionics, propulsion subsystems, and integrated weapon systems. Burch operates within a high-stakes, technologically demanding environment where precision, compliance, and timely delivery are essential to maintaining air superiority. She maintains consistent contracting relationships with industry leaders such as Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, all of which provide advanced aerospace systems and mission-critical support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term partnerships with prime contractors possessing deep technical expertise in military aviation platforms, including rotary-wing aircraft, unmanned aerial systems, and integrated avionics architectures. These relationships are characterized by collaborative engineering integration, performance-based logistics, and rigorous systems engineering oversight to ensure operational readiness. Burch’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This indicates a strategic focus on technical capability and mission necessity over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with NAVAIR’s priority to secure the highest-performing industrial partners for complex defense systems. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—encompassing specialized components such as flight control actuators, mission computer interfaces, sensor integration modules, and maintenance support hardware. She specializes in procuring high-reliability, military-specification equipment for use in extreme operational environments, demonstrating deep domain expertise in naval aviation systems engineering and defense acquisition regulation.
