Amber Morley

Amber Morley 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 acquisitions for mission-critical avionics, electronic warfare subsystems, and integrated sensor suites that enhance air superiority and fleet readiness. Her work directly enables the modernization of airborne platforms by ensuring timely delivery of technically complex systems, from prototype testing to full-rate production. Morley specializes in high-stakes, technology-driven contracts requiring rigorous compliance with military standards and rapid iteration cycles, often coordinating across engineering, test, and logistics teams to align procurement timelines with operational milestones. Morley maintains strategic 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 balanced approach between large prime contractors with deep systems integration capabilities and specialized niche vendors providing precision components and niche engineering services. Her contracting patterns emphasize collaborative development, technical risk mitigation, and performance-based acquisition strategies, fostering long-term vendor engagement on multi-year modernization initiatives. Morley’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity, with approximately half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to engage qualified small businesses in the design and production of critical aviation systems, ensuring innovation and competition while meeting statutory obligations. Her approach consistently leverages small business capabilities in specialized manufacturing and engineering services without compromising mission-critical performance requirements. Her primary focus lies within NAICS 334310, Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing, which encompasses the procurement of advanced signal processing hardware, cockpit displays, data link terminals, and integrated communication/navigation systems. Morley’s expertise centers on procuring ruggedized, military-grade electronics that meet MIL-STD specifications, demonstrating deep technical fluency in airborne sensor architectures and electromagnetic compatibility standards.
