Evan Schlisserman

Evan Schlisserman serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance naval aviation readiness through research, development, test, and evaluation of critical aircraft systems. He manages complex acquisitions for advanced avionics, flight control instrumentation, diagnostic systems, and specialized maintenance infrastructure, ensuring that cutting-edge technologies meet rigorous military performance and sustainment standards. His work directly enables the integration of next-generation capabilities into naval aircraft platforms, requiring deep technical understanding of aerospace engineering and systems integration. Schlisserman maintains longstanding relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration, PCI Aviation, Critical Communications, Controls and Instruments, and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-reliability, mission-critical components requiring stringent quality assurance and technical compliance. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical validation, and lifecycle support, ensuring seamless fielding and sustainment of complex aviation systems under demanding operational conditions. His procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly dominated by open, unrestricted competitions, with only 5.1% of awards designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic preferences, though he remains compliant with all federal small business regulations. While small business participation is limited, it is purposefully directed toward firms with proven expertise in niche avionics and instrumentation domains. His primary NAICS focus areas include Machine Tool Manufacturing, Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing, and Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, underscoring his specialization in precision instrumentation, sensor systems, and aircraft-specific support hardware. He routinely procures high-accuracy electrical test equipment, flight data acquisition systems, and embedded control hardware, demonstrating deep domain expertise in aerospace test and evaluation environments.
