Brittany Raley

Brittany Raley serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, supporting the development and sustainment of advanced naval aviation systems. She manages complex acquisitions for mission-critical avionics, electronic warfare subsystems, and airborne sensor integration, ensuring alignment with the Navy’s strategic priorities in air superiority and fleet readiness. Her work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from requirements definition through contract award and performance oversight—focusing on high-technology systems that enhance aircraft communications, navigation, and targeting capabilities. Raley plays a central role in translating operational needs into technically sound procurement strategies that support next-generation platform modernization. She maintains longstanding 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 reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven expertise in aerospace systems engineering, test and evaluation, and mission-critical hardware development. Her contracting patterns indicate a focus on performance-based, outcome-driven contracts that emphasize technical rigor, systems integration, and lifecycle sustainment. Raley’s procurement portfolio is predominantly open competition, with 78.6% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, reflecting the specialized nature of the technologies involved. However, she consistently supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (21.4%), aligning with federal goals while ensuring access to innovative capabilities from qualified small vendors in engineering and manufacturing sectors. Her primary NAICS focus includes Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals (334515), Engineering Services (541330), and Research and Development in Physical and Engineering Sciences (541715), underscoring her deep engagement with electronic test equipment, systems engineering, and advanced avionics R&D. She routinely procures precision instrumentation, embedded software systems, and technical services critical to airborne platform certification and operational testing.
