Diane D. Conarroe

Diane D. Conarroe serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (N61340), where she plays a pivotal role in acquiring advanced simulation, avionics, and immersive training systems critical to naval aviation readiness. Her procurement portfolio centers on the development, modernization, and sustainment of mission-critical training infrastructure, including tactical combat training simulators, flight training devices, and integrated avionics systems. She ensures acquisitions align with Department of the Navy strategic priorities by applying sound contracting practices, managing complex technical requirements, and facilitating timely delivery of high-fidelity training solutions to enhance aircrew proficiency and operational readiness. Conarroe maintains consistent, long-term relationships with key contractors including STRACON SERVICES GROUP, LLC, and FLIGHTSAFETY INTERNATIONAL INC, both of which provide specialized simulation hardware, software integration, and flight training system sustainment services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and lifecycle support, fostering collaborative partnerships with vendors capable of delivering scalable, secure, and interoperable training platforms. These relationships reflect a focus on proven capability and reliability in high-stakes defense environments. Ms. Conarroe’s procurement activity is entirely classified under “No Set-Aside,” indicating a preference for open competition based on technical merit and value rather than socioeconomic designations. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her contracting decisions remain fully compliant with federal acquisition regulations and emphasize mission effectiveness above socioeconomic criteria. Her primary focus is on NAICS 334290 — Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing — reflecting her specialization in procuring advanced avionics, data link systems, and embedded training technologies that support synthetic training environments. She routinely manages acquisitions involving real-time simulation architectures, networked training networks, and mission rehearsal systems, demonstrating deep technical fluency in naval aviation training domains.
