Andrew H Warner

Andrew H. Warner serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of naval aviation systems for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. He manages complex contracting actions for advanced aircraft platforms, avionics, and mission-critical subsystems, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s strategic modernization goals. His work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from requirements validation and source selection to contract award and performance oversight—focusing on high-priority programs involving carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft. Warner’s expertise lies in navigating technical specifications for next-generation aviation systems while maintaining strict compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements. Warner maintains consistent contracting relationships with industry leaders such as Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with prime contractors who deliver integrated aerospace solutions including rotary-wing platforms, unmanned aerial systems, and precision-guided munitions. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term sustainment partnerships, technical collaboration, and performance-based logistics contracts to ensure operational readiness. These relationships are characterized by deep technical engagement, rigorous quality assurance protocols, and a focus on mission-critical delivery timelines. His contracting activity reflects a near-exclusive focus on full and open competition, with only 0.8% of awards designated for small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a primary reliance on established defense primes with proven capability in complex aerospace systems. While socioeconomic set-asides are minimal, his portfolio adheres strictly to statutory requirements and prioritizes technical superiority and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences. Warner’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), reflecting his specialization in airframe integration, flight control systems, and mission avionics. He frequently procures components such as electro-optical targeting pods, radar subsystems, and engine auxiliary equipment, demonstrating deep technical fluency in naval aviation hardware and systems integration. His work directly supports the operational readiness of F-35, MH-60, and MQ-9 platforms, making him a critical link between operational requirements and industrial capability.
