Courtney Rahn-Warner

Courtney Rahn-Warner serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding Officer’s office (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval aviation and electronic warfare systems. Their role centers on securing mission-critical aerospace components, advanced electronic assemblies, and cybersecurity-enabled communications infrastructure to ensure operational readiness across naval aircraft platforms. Rahn-Warner oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements validation to award and performance monitoring—with a focus on high-technology, low-volume procurements requiring stringent technical compliance and supply chain integrity. The individual maintains strategic relationships with leading defense contractors including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC and Lockheed Martin Corporation, partnering primarily with prime vendors capable of delivering integrated avionics, sensor systems, and mission-critical engineering services. These collaborations are characterized by long-term technical alignment and rigorous adherence to military specifications, with a preference for vendors possessing DoD clearance, AS9100 certification, and experience in classified program support. While the majority of acquisitions (75%) are conducted as open competitions, Rahn-Warner consistently allocates 25% of contract opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding small business participation in naval technology development. Though no specific socioeconomic set-asides dominate, the pattern reflects a balanced approach to fostering innovation through qualified small business partners. Notably, the procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 611692 (Automobile Driving Schools), which appears to reflect data anomalies or misclassifications; however, the actual technical focus aligns with NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services), indicating a strong emphasis on software integration, systems engineering, and mission planning support for electronic warfare and flight control systems. This underscores expertise in digital modernization and systems lifecycle management within naval aviation domains.
