Brittany Mister

Brittany Mister serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisition strategies for advanced naval aviation systems. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts supporting the development, testing, and sustainment of mission-critical avionics, electronic warfare suites, and aircraft subsystems. Her portfolio emphasizes technical acquisitions requiring deep engineering oversight, including systems integration, prototype development, and logistics support for next-generation platforms. Working closely with program managers and technical evaluators, she ensures compliance with DoD acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities in air superiority and fleet readiness. Brittany maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense contractors including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, THE BOEING COMPANY, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, SYSTEMS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS, INC., and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC. These partnerships are primarily performance-based, focusing on high-technical-risk deliverables such as sensor integration, communications architecture, and avionics modernization. Her approach emphasizes collaborative contract administration, rigorous technical evaluation, and performance metrics aligned with operational readiness goals, fostering long-term vendor engagement grounded in accountability and innovation. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a strategic focus on leveraging the broadest possible industrial base to meet demanding technical requirements, rather than targeting socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her approach prioritizes capability and mission necessity over socioeconomic set-asides, consistent with the high-stakes nature of naval aviation acquisitions. Brittany’s primary NAICS focus areas include 336413 for other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, 334511 for aeronautical navigation and guidance systems, and 541330 for engineering services. She routinely procures mission-critical hardware and software systems including radar and electronic warfare components, flight control interfaces, and integrated avionics architectures, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace systems engineering and defense technology acquisition.
