Christy L Hammett

Christy L. Hammett serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions for advanced naval aviation systems. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts supporting the development, testing, and sustainment of mission-critical avionics, electronic warfare suites, and integrated communications platforms. Her work directly enables the Navy’s strategic priorities in air superiority and fleet readiness, focusing on high-technical-risk procurements requiring rigorous engineering oversight and compliance with defense acquisition regulations. Hammett routinely handles sole-source, competitive, and performance-based contracts for cutting-edge aerospace and defense technologies. She maintains consistent, long-term relationships with key industry partners 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 defense contractors with proven expertise in airborne sensor integration, mission systems engineering, and rapid prototyping. Hammett’s contracting approach emphasizes technical alignment, past performance evaluation, and risk mitigation through structured acquisition strategies tailored to high-complexity systems. Hammett’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a focus on full and open competition to ensure access to the broadest range of technical capabilities. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach ensures rigorous merit-based selection grounded in technical superiority and mission need. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing) and 423430 (Computer and Computer Peripheral Equipment and Software Merchant Wholesalers), underscoring deep expertise in procuring radio frequency systems, data link components, embedded computing hardware, and mission software solutions. She specializes in acquiring integrated avionics architectures, secure communications networks, and real-time signal processing systems essential to next-generation naval aircraft platforms.
