Angela Bowling

Angela Bowling 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 mission-critical avionics, electronic warfare subsystems, and airborne sensor integration, ensuring alignment with the Navy’s strategic priorities in air superiority and fleet readiness. Her work spans the full lifecycle of contract execution—from requirements definition through award and performance oversight—focusing on technical solutions that enhance communication, navigation, and signal processing capabilities on next-generation aircraft platforms. Angela maintains strong, sustained 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 balance between large prime contractors delivering integrated systems and specialized firms providing niche components for radar, communications, and electrical instrumentation. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and long-term sustainment planning for legacy and modernized platforms. Her procurement portfolio demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with over 61% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of contracts support small business goals, she also manages open competitions for complex, high-technical-capability requirements where large primes are essential. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to foster innovation through small business engagement while maintaining access to critical defense industrial base capabilities. Angela’s primary NAICS focus areas include instrument manufacturing for electrical signal testing (334515), communications equipment manufacturing (334290, 334220), and miscellaneous electrical component production (335999). She procures specialized hardware and software systems for airborne data acquisition, electronic countermeasures, and mission computing, requiring deep domain expertise in RF systems, signal integrity, and avionics integration. Her work directly supports the modernization of naval air platforms through technically demanding, standards-compliant acquisitions.
