Breanne Jilcott

Breanne N. Jilcott serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), where she plays a critical role in executing the lifecycle acquisition of naval aviation systems. Responsible for managing complex procurement actions from solicitation through contract award and administration, she supports the Navy and Marine Corps’ mission to maintain air superiority through the development and sustainment of advanced aircraft, avionics, and mission-critical support systems. Her portfolio primarily encompasses technical acquisitions in aircraft manufacturing, avionics integration, and specialized logistics services, requiring deep familiarity with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) compliance, performance-based contracting, and risk mitigation strategies for high-stakes defense programs. Jilcott maintains consistent working relationships with industry leaders including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with prime contractors who deliver cutting-edge aerospace and defense platforms. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance outcomes, technical rigor, and long-term sustainment support, often coordinating with engineering and logistics teams to align contractual requirements with operational readiness goals. These partnerships are characterized by collaborative contract administration, iterative requirement refinement, and strict adherence to military specification standards. Jilcott’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on leveraging the broadest possible industrial base to meet NAVAIR’s mission-critical needs, rather than targeting socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her approach prioritizes technical capability and system performance over socioeconomic preferences. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 334511 (Aeronautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), reflecting expertise in avionics, flight control systems, and mission equipment. She also frequently procures custom computer programming services under NAICS 541511 to support embedded software and system integration, demonstrating specialized knowledge in digital aviation modernization and cyber-secure avionics architectures.
