Brianna Little

Brianna Little serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center, supporting the agency’s mission to advance naval aviation systems through research, development, testing, and evaluation of mission-critical technologies. She manages a portfolio of engineering services contracts focused on avionics modernization, airborne command and control systems, sensor integration, and mission simulation software. Her work ensures the timely acquisition of technical solutions that enhance the reliability, interoperability, and operational effectiveness of naval air platforms, directly aligning with the DoD’s strategic priorities in next-generation warfare capabilities. Brianna maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., Science Applications International Corporation, Kranze Technology Solutions Inc., and Teya Support Services LLC. These partnerships are primarily centered on engineering and systems integration services, with a focus on delivering specialized technical expertise in avionics, electronic warfare, and mission systems development. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and technical validation, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in rigorous requirements definition and lifecycle support. She exhibits a strong and consistent commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate innovation from emerging defense contractors and ensure broad economic opportunity within the aerospace and engineering services sector. Her contracting patterns prioritize small businesses capable of delivering niche technical capabilities in software development, systems engineering, and rapid prototyping. Her procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), underscoring her specialization in technical services rather than hardware procurement. She routinely acquires advanced engineering support for software-defined systems, digital twin simulations, embedded systems, and real-time data processing architectures critical to modern naval aviation platforms.
