Ashley Wingfield

Ashley Wingfield serves as a secondary procurement specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAVAIR NAWC AD), supporting the acquisition of critical capabilities that advance naval aviation systems. While not the lead contracting officer, Wingfield plays a vital role in facilitating contract execution, coordinating requirements validation, and ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s mission to accelerate the delivery of manned and unmanned aircraft technologies. Their work primarily supports engineering, logistics, and systems integration efforts, with a focus on commercial building construction, flight training, and information technology services essential to maintaining operational readiness. Wingfield collaborates with a diverse range of vendors, including small businesses and prime contractors delivering custom software, data infrastructure, and aviation training solutions. Though no single contractor dominates their portfolio, they routinely engage with firms specializing in computer programming, web hosting, and simulation-based training platforms. Their procurement patterns reflect a collaborative, team-based approach, working closely with technical specialists and program managers to ensure contract vehicles support evolving operational needs. Wingfield demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 40% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation through SME engagement, particularly in IT and training domains. While no specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a) or HUBZone are dominant, the consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a proactive effort to broaden vendor diversity and enhance competition. Their procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 236220 (commercial construction), 611512 (flight training), 541511 (custom programming), and 518210 (data infrastructure). These reflect a technical portfolio spanning facility modernization, pilot training systems, software development for aviation platforms, and secure computing services—aligning closely with NAVAIR’s priorities in digital modernization and airborne systems sustainment.
