Breana Ryan

Breana Ryan serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of advanced naval aviation systems. She plays a critical role in executing strategic contracts for airborne sensors, avionics, guidance systems, and mission-critical aerospace instrumentation, ensuring operational readiness for U.S. Navy and Marine Corps platforms. Her work directly enables NAVAIR’s mission to maintain air superiority through the modernization and integration of next-generation aircraft and weapon systems. Ryan specializes in complex, high-technology acquisitions governed by defense acquisition regulations, with a focus on systems that enhance situational awareness, targeting, and flight control across carrier-based and expeditionary aviation assets. Ryan maintains consistent contracting relationships with industry leaders including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with prime contractors who deliver integrated aerospace solutions ranging from unmanned aerial systems to advanced radar and electronic warfare suites. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, technical risk mitigation, and long-term sustainment planning, often involving multi-year, performance-driven agreements with established defense aerospace vendors. These partnerships reflect a preference for proven, scalable platforms with robust logistics and support infrastructures. Ryan’s contracting activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with NAVAIR’s mission-critical requirements, where technical capability, operational reliability, and industrial base readiness take precedence over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, compliance with all federal acquisition regulations remains strictly observed. Her primary focus lies within NAICS 334511, encompassing the design, development, and integration of aeronautical and navigation systems. She procures precision-guided sensors, flight control computers, mission computers, and digital avionics architectures that underpin the operational effectiveness of naval aircraft, demonstrating deep expertise in defense electronics and systems engineering procurement.
