Courtney Burgos

Courtney Burgos serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, supporting the development and sustainment of advanced naval aviation systems. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions in engineering services, avionics integration, and mission-critical subsystems, Burgos plays a central role in ensuring the fleet’s operational readiness through timely and technically sound contract actions. Their work directly advances the agency’s mission to modernize airborne sensor suites, enhance electronic warfare capabilities, and maintain legacy aircraft systems through lifecycle support contracts. Burgos typically handles performance-based, cost-reimbursement, and fixed-price contracts for research, development, testing, and engineering services. Burgos maintains strong, ongoing 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 reflect a balanced approach between large prime contractors delivering integrated systems and specialized firms providing niche engineering and manufacturing capabilities. The working relationships are characterized by technical collaboration, iterative requirements development, and long-term sustainment planning, often involving multiple contract phases across multi-year program cycles. A consistent 60% of Burgos’s acquisitions are set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. While no other specific set-aside categories dominate, the high proportion of small business set-asides signals a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity-building among qualified small firms in the aerospace and defense sector. This pattern supports broader Department of the Navy objectives to diversify the industrial base and promote competitive sourcing. The primary NAICS focus is on 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting deep expertise in avionics, communications, and mission systems engineering. Additional procurement activity centers on 333517 (Machine Tool Manufacturing) for precision component fabrication and 518210 for computing infrastructure and data processing services supporting simulation, test, and mission planning environments. Burgos’s technical domain spans airborne sensor integration, electronic warfare systems, and digital infrastructure for next-generation naval aircraft platforms.
