Antoinette Miles

Antoinette Miles serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), where she plays a critical role in executing the lifecycle acquisition of naval aviation systems. Responsible for planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering complex contracts, she ensures alignment with NAVAIR’s mission to develop, test, and sustain advanced aircraft, weapons, and avionics for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Her portfolio centers on full-spectrum procurement activities for manned and unmanned aerial platforms, including integration of mission-critical systems such as radar, electronic warfare suites, and propulsion technologies. She operates within stringent DoD acquisition frameworks, applying FAR and NAVAIR-specific policies to deliver mission-ready capabilities on schedule and within regulatory compliance. Ms. Miles maintains consistent, high-volume contracting relationships with leading defense aerospace prime contractors, including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics. These partnerships involve the procurement of advanced aircraft platforms, sustainment services, and integrated logistics support for carrier-based and expeditionary aviation assets. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, systems engineering integration, and long-term sustainment planning, fostering collaborative relationships with industry partners to meet evolving operational requirements and technological advancements. Ms. Miles’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside categories. This indicates a strategic focus on leveraging the broadest possible industrial base to meet the technical complexity and scale of naval aviation programs, rather than targeting socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. While small business participation is not a primary driver of her award strategy, she ensures compliance with all applicable small business subcontracting plan requirements as part of prime contract administration. Her primary procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), encompassing the design, production, and modification of fixed-wing and rotary-wing platforms, unmanned aerial systems, and associated subsystems. She specializes in procuring high-performance aviation systems requiring rigorous certification, flight testing, and technical data package management, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace engineering procurement and defense acquisition lifecycle management.
