Christina Taylor

Christina Taylor serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance naval aviation readiness through research, development, test, and evaluation of mission-critical aircraft systems. She manages complex acquisitions for advanced avionics, flight control subsystems, diagnostic instrumentation, and maintenance support technologies, ensuring alignment with operational requirements for next-generation naval aircraft. Her work bridges engineering innovation with acquisition execution, enabling rapid fielding of high-performance aerospace capabilities while adhering to federal contracting regulations and lifecycle sustainment goals. Taylor maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense aerospace contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc., and PCI Aviation LLC, among others. These partnerships focus on the integration of sophisticated electronic systems, precision instrumentation, and mission-critical hardware for naval air platforms. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and long-term sustainment support, often involving sole-source or limited competition actions for specialized, proprietary technologies requiring deep domain expertise. Her contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 91.7% of awards issued without set-aside designation, indicating a focus on capability-driven sourcing over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation remains limited at 8.3%, it is primarily channeled through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting targeted support for qualified firms capable of delivering niche aerospace components. Taylor’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with significant activity in 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) and 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing). She routinely acquires flight data recorders, embedded avionics, test instrumentation, and machine tool accessories critical to aircraft testing and maintenance, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace electronics and systems integration domains.
