Danielle Doud

Danielle Doud serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions to support the development and integration of advanced naval aviation systems. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for mission-critical technologies, from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration. She specializes in procurements involving avionics, sensor systems, mission planning software, and electronic warfare components, ensuring alignment with the Center’s strategic goals in airborne command and control, systems reliability, and next-generation warfare capability. Her work directly enables the Navy’s technological edge through timely, compliant, and technically sound contracting solutions. Doud maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors, including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., SAIC, Teya Support Services LLC, and Kranze Technology Solutions Inc. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engaging established prime contractors with proven expertise in systems engineering, test and evaluation, and mission-critical hardware development. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and contract compliance, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in mission alignment and operational readiness. Doud’s contracting portfolio shows no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate focus on selecting the most technically capable and mission-ready vendors, regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not a primary driver in her award strategy, her process remains fully compliant with federal acquisition regulations and emphasizes value, capability, and risk mitigation. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories 334511 and 334515, corresponding to the manufacturing of aeronautical navigation and electrical test instrumentation; 335311 for power and specialty transformers; 326199 for specialized plastics components; and 541330 for engineering services. These reflect deep technical engagement with avionics, electronic systems, embedded hardware, and systems engineering support critical to naval air warfare platforms.
