Bradley Lysaght serves as a primary contracting professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), overseeing the acquisition and lifecycle sustainment of critical naval aviation systems. He plays a central role in executing complex procurement strategies for aircraft components, propulsion systems, and mission-critical avionics, ensuring alignment with the Navy and Marine Corps’ modernization priorities. His responsibilities include managing full lifecycle contracts—from initial requirements validation through contract award and performance oversight—focusing on high-technology platforms that support carrier-based and expeditionary air operations. Lysaght’s work directly supports NAVAIR’s mission to maintain air superiority through advanced, reliable, and interoperable aviation systems. He maintains consistent, long-term relationships with leading defense prime contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with firms that deliver advanced rotorcraft, strike aircraft, unmanned aerial systems, and integrated weapons solutions. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical compliance, often involving multi-year, performance-driven agreements that require rigorous systems engineering and logistics support. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven capabilities in naval aviation integration and sustainment. Lysaght’s procurement portfolio shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical superiority and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing capability and reliability in high-stakes defense acquisitions. While small business participation is not formally targeted, his contracts may include subcontracting opportunities aligned with prime contractor obligations. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with significant activity in aircraft engine components (336412) and precision instrumentation (334513). He specializes in procuring mission-critical hardware such as flight control systems, engine modules, and sensor suites, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace manufacturing and systems integration for naval aviation platforms.
