Anita Kriner

Anita Kriner serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, supporting the acquisition of advanced avionics, mission systems, and aircraft subsystems critical to naval air superiority. She manages complex contracting actions for the development, testing, and sustainment of next-generation airborne sensor suites, electronic warfare systems, and precision navigation equipment. Her work directly enables the integration of cutting-edge technologies into fleet platforms, ensuring operational readiness and technological edge across naval aviation. Kriner routinely handles sole-source and competitive acquisitions under full and open competition, prioritizing technical rigor, system interoperability, and lifecycle support. She maintains sustained 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 focus on high-performance engineering firms capable of delivering mission-critical hardware, software, and systems integration services. Kriner’s procurement approach emphasizes long-term collaboration with vendors possessing deep expertise in aerospace systems, signal processing, and airborne instrumentation, often requiring specialized certifications and compliance with military standards such as MIL-STD and DO-178C. Kriner’s contracting portfolio is entirely under full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects the agency’s reliance on highly specialized technical capabilities that currently reside primarily within large, established defense contractors with the infrastructure to support classified, high-integrity systems development. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, all acquisitions adhere to rigorous merit-based evaluation criteria focused on technical superiority and mission alignment. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334515 for precision instrument manufacturing related to electrical signal measurement and NAICS 336412 for aircraft engine and engine component production. These domains encompass the acquisition of avionics test equipment, flight control sensors, radar signal processors, and propulsion monitoring systems—technologies foundational to modern naval air operations and system sustainment.
