He manages the full lifecycle of contracts supporting the development, testing, and sustainment of mission-critical avionics, electronic warfare suites, and aircraft subsystems. His portfolio emphasizes technical procurement for next-generation airborne platforms, ensuring alignment with the Navy’s strategic priorities in air superiority and fleet readiness. Woehrer specializes in sole-source and competitive acquisitions under FAR and NAVAIR-specific guidelines, often coordinating with engineering and program management teams to translate technical requirements into enforceable contract deliverables. He maintains consistent working 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 span systems integration, engineering services, and specialized manufacturing of aircraft components. Woehrer’s approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, technical oversight, and risk mitigation, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in compliance and mission-critical delivery timelines. Woehrer’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing mission need and system performance above targeted small business set-asides.
