Beth Exzabe

Beth Exzabe serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance next-generation aviation systems through research, development, and evaluation of mission-critical technologies. She manages complex acquisitions in avionics, sensor integration, communications infrastructure, and mission planning systems, ensuring alignment with naval air warfare modernization priorities. Her work spans the full lifecycle of contract execution—from requirements definition to performance monitoring—focusing on high-technology, systems-integrated solutions that enhance airborne command and control, avionics reliability, and real-time data processing capabilities. Exzabe maintains longstanding relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., and Science Applications International Corporation, partnering with firms that deliver advanced electronics, software-defined radios, and industrial control systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor and performance-based outcomes, often engaging vendors with deep expertise in airborne systems integration, cybersecurity-enabled communications, and mission simulation environments. She consistently collaborates with prime contractors who maintain robust subcontracting networks to ensure scalable, secure, and interoperable solutions. Her contracting activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability over socioeconomic classification, prioritizing mission readiness and system performance above all else. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, vendors of all sizes are evaluated on technical merit, past performance, and systems integration proficiency. Exzabe’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers) and 334220 (Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing), underscoring her specialization in embedded software, signal processing systems, and mission-critical instrumentation. She routinely procures advanced avionics, telemetry interfaces, and industrial control instruments used in flight test and evaluation environments, demonstrating deep technical fluency in naval aviation electronics and real-time data acquisition systems.
