Bryana Lockwood

Bryana Lockwood serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of naval aviation systems for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. She manages complex contracting actions for advanced aircraft platforms, mission-critical avionics, and integrated logistics support solutions, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s strategic imperatives in air superiority and expeditionary readiness. Her work directly enables the modernization of carrier-based and unmanned aerial systems through end-to-end contract execution, from requirement validation to contract closeout, with a focus on technical rigor and operational reliability. Lockwood maintains consistent contracting relationships with industry leaders including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with prime contractors who deliver high-performance aerospace systems and mission-enabling technologies. Her procurement patterns reflect deep collaboration with Tier 1 defense integrators capable of delivering complex, mission-critical platforms under strict military specifications. She also engages with specialized logistics and training providers such as Global Air Logistics and Training, Inc., to ensure sustained operational readiness through integrated support solutions. Lockwood’s contracting portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate focus on leveraging the broadest industrial base to meet the technical demands of naval aviation modernization, with no reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides. Her approach prioritizes capability, scale, and readiness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with NAVAIR’s mission-critical procurement posture. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), encompassing the acquisition of manned and unmanned naval aircraft, propulsion systems, flight control architectures, and associated avionics suites. She specializes in procuring systems requiring stringent MIL-STD compliance, technical data rights management, and sustainment planning, demonstrating deep expertise in defense aerospace procurement and systems integration.
