Anita Kriner

Anita Kriner serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, supporting the development, testing, and sustainment of advanced naval aviation systems. She manages complex acquisitions for mission-critical aircraft subsystems, including avionics, electronic warfare suites, navigation systems, and auxiliary equipment essential to maintaining air superiority and fleet readiness. Her work directly enables the integration of next-generation technologies into legacy and emerging platforms, ensuring operational continuity and technological edge across the Navy’s airborne assets. Kriner specializes in engineering and manufacturing contracts requiring rigorous technical validation and lifecycle support. She maintains established 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 experienced industry primes with proven capabilities in aerospace systems integration, subsystem manufacturing, and technical sustainment. Kriner’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term supportability, fostering collaborative relationships with vendors capable of delivering high-reliability solutions under demanding operational conditions. Kriner’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, indicating a strategic focus on capability-driven sourcing rather than socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, her contracting actions remain compliant with all federal requirements and may include small business subcontracting as part of prime contractor performance plans. Her approach prioritizes mission need and technical maturity over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing) and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), underscoring deep expertise in propulsion systems, flight control components, mission computer hardware, and airborne sensor interfaces. She consistently acquires high-integrity, MIL-SPEC-compliant components critical to aircraft survivability, communications, and mission effectiveness.
