Brett DeOca

Brett DeOca serves as a key procurement lead within the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to modernize and sustain advanced aviation training systems. He manages the acquisition of mission-critical simulation technologies, tactical flight training systems, and integrated avionics infrastructure essential for pilot and aircrew readiness. His procurement activities focus on complex, high-fidelity training environments that require seamless interoperability with naval aircraft platforms, emphasizing systems engineering, real-time data integration, and immersive training architectures. DeOca’s portfolio centers on developmental and sustainment contracts for next-generation training solutions aligned with Navy aviation modernization priorities. DeOca maintains consistent contracting relationships with STRACON SERVICES GROUP, LLC, and FLIGHTSAFETY INTERNATIONAL INC, both of which provide specialized simulation hardware, synthetic training environments, and curriculum-integrated flight training solutions. His working pattern reflects a preference for established industry partners with proven expertise in military aviation training systems, often leveraging long-term support contracts and performance-based service agreements. These partnerships are characterized by technical collaboration, rigorous requirements validation, and iterative system upgrades to meet evolving operational needs. DeOca’s acquisition strategy does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate focus on technical capability and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic criteria, prioritizing proven vendors with deep domain expertise in naval aviation training systems. While small business participation is not formally targeted, all procurements remain compliant with federal acquisition regulations and competitive bidding standards. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 336412, Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing, reflecting the technical alignment of training systems with propulsion and flight control subsystems. He procures high-fidelity flight simulators, embedded training systems, and mission-specific avionics interfaces that replicate real-world aircraft performance, demonstrating deep expertise in defense aerospace training technologies and systems integration.
