Erin Allison

Erin Allison serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the acquisition and lifecycle sustainment of critical naval aviation systems. Responsible for managing complex contracting actions across aircraft propulsion and engine component programs, she plays a central role in ensuring the operational readiness of carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft fleets. Her work directly supports NAVAIR’s mission to maintain air superiority through the timely delivery of high-performance, mission-critical aviation systems, with a focus on technical rigor, risk mitigation, and long-term sustainment planning. Allison maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense aerospace prime contractors, including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics. These partnerships center on the development, integration, and maintenance of advanced aircraft engines, propulsion subsystems, and associated avionics interfaces. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, technical oversight, and long-term support agreements, fostering collaborative relationships with industry partners to ensure system reliability and interoperability across Navy and Marine Corps platforms. Allison’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with no set-aside preferences applied across her acquisitions. This reflects NAVAIR’s strategic imperative to leverage the broadest possible industrial base for mission-critical aviation systems, prioritizing technical capability and schedule certainty over socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, all contracts adhere to federal acquisition regulations and competitive bidding standards. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 336412—Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing—where she specializes in procuring turbine engines, propulsion control systems, fuel injection components, and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services for naval aviation platforms. Her technical expertise spans gas turbine systems, high-performance materials, and propulsion integration, ensuring acquisitions align with evolving fleet modernization objectives.
