Breanne Jilcott

Breanne Jilcott serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of naval aviation systems for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. She manages complex contracts for advanced aircraft platforms, avionics, and mission-critical support systems, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s strategic modernization goals. Her work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from requirements definition and source selection to contract award and performance oversight—focusing on high-priority programs involving carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft. Jilcott’s expertise ensures timely delivery of technically sophisticated capabilities that maintain air superiority and operational readiness across global theaters. She maintains enduring relationships with leading defense prime contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with them on the development and integration of next-generation rotary-wing and unmanned aerial systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes collaboration with industry leaders possessing deep technical capabilities in aerospace engineering, mission systems integration, and logistics sustainment. These partnerships are characterized by long-term contract structures, performance-based incentives, and rigorous technical oversight to meet evolving operational demands. Jilcott’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a focus on maximizing technical capability and industrial base efficiency rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with NAVAIR’s mission-critical need for proven, high-reliability systems. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, she ensures compliance with all federal contracting regulations and supports broad industry engagement through competitive solicitation practices. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in airframe assembly, propulsion integration, and avionics subsystems. She also procures mission-critical electronic systems under NAICS 334511 and training solutions under 611430, demonstrating a holistic approach to sustaining naval airpower through integrated hardware, software, and human capital development.
