Carla L Biver

Carla L. Biver serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), where she plays a critical role in executing the acquisition lifecycle for advanced naval aviation systems. Responsible for soliciting, negotiating, and administering complex contracts, she supports NAVAIR’s mission to develop, test, and sustain next-generation aircraft, avionics, and weapons systems for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Her portfolio primarily encompasses engineering services and the manufacturing of aeronautical navigation and detection systems, ensuring technical readiness and operational superiority across carrier-based and expeditionary air platforms. Biver maintains consistent procurement relationships with industry leaders including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with prime contractors that deliver high-integrity aerospace and defense systems. These collaborations involve technical integration, systems engineering, and sustainment support for mission-critical platforms such as rotary-wing aircraft, unmanned aerial systems, and advanced sensor suites. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and compliance with DoD acquisition regulations. Her procurement activity reflects a strong focus on open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside preferences. This underscores a strategic alignment with NAVAIR’s requirement for scalable, high-capacity industrial capabilities that meet stringent military specifications, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, she ensures all procurements adhere to fair and transparent competition standards. Biver’s primary NAICS focus areas are 541330 (Engineering Services) and 334511 (Aeronautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), reflecting her deep engagement in systems engineering, avionics integration, and mission-critical hardware development. She routinely procures technical services supporting flight control systems, radar and electronic warfare suites, and logistics sustainment solutions essential to maintaining naval air dominance.
