Alyssa M. Todaro 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 engineering services critical to modernizing airborne sensor suites, electronic warfare systems, and mission-critical avionics. Her work directly enables the agency’s mission to ensure air superiority through the integration of next-generation aircraft subsystems, focusing on technical solutions that enhance operational readiness across the fleet. Todaro specializes in sole-source and competitive engineering contracts that require deep domain expertise in aerospace systems integration and survivability technologies. She maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense 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 preference for established industry leaders with proven capabilities in systems engineering, technical analysis, and rapid prototyping of airborne platforms. Todaro’s contracting approach emphasizes collaboration with vendors possessing specialized technical certifications and demonstrated experience in naval aviation environments, ensuring compliance with rigorous military standards. Todaro exhibits a strong and consistent commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of her acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity-building within the small business industrial base, ensuring that niche engineering firms contribute meaningfully to the Navy’s modernization goals. Her procurement patterns prioritize socioeconomic programs that empower small businesses with the technical expertise to support high-stakes defense initiatives. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where she procures advanced systems engineering, technical analysis, and integration services for airborne platforms. She specializes in acquiring solutions related to avionics architecture, communications interoperability, electronic attack and defense systems, and legacy system sustainment—all critical to maintaining naval air dominance in contested environments.
