In this role, she facilitates the end-to-end procurement process for technical contracts involving avionics, communications, navigation, and electronic warfare subsystems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with the agency’s modernization priorities. Her responsibilities include preparing solicitation documents, coordinating with technical stakeholders, managing contract modifications, and ensuring timely award and administration of contracts that sustain legacy platforms and integrate next-generation airborne capabilities. Brenda maintains consistent working relationships with key industry partners including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, THE BOEING COMPANY, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, SYSTEMS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS, INC., and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC.
