Elizabeth A. Eberhart (Beth)

Elizabeth A. Eberhart serves as a procurement specialist focused on advanced aerospace and communications systems, managing complex acquisitions aligned with national defense and technological innovation priorities. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical requirements. Her portfolio centers on high-precision manufacturing and R&D initiatives, positioning her as a key liaison between technical stakeholders and industry partners in the defense aerospace sector. Eberhart cultivates strategic relationships with prime contractors specializing in aircraft systems, avionics, and communications equipment manufacturing. She routinely engages with firms possessing deep expertise in FAA-certified components, flight control systems, and secure data transmission technologies. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in quality assurance and systems integration capabilities. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently collaborates with mid-to-large tier suppliers capable of meeting stringent military and aerospace standards. Eberhart’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of her awards issued under open, non-set-aside solicitations. This indicates a focus on technical capability and performance over socioeconomic classifications, though she remains compliant with all federal small business requirements. Her approach prioritizes mission readiness and industrial base resilience, ensuring access to the most qualified vendors regardless of size or certification status. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting deep engagement with airframe, propulsion, and mission systems development. She also procures specialized communications equipment under NAICS 334290 and supports advanced engineering research under NAICS 541712, demonstrating expertise in both hardware fabrication and applied R&D for next-generation aerospace platforms.
