Faith L. LaGore serves as a Procuring Contracting Officer at the Naval Air Warfare Center (N68936), where she leads the acquisition of mission-critical technologies that advance naval aviation systems. Her portfolio encompasses research, development, testing, and evaluation contracts for airborne command and control, avionics, sensors, and integrated software solutions. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring the Navy’s technological edge by managing complex, high-stakes procurements aligned with strategic modernization goals, often involving classified and dual-use systems under FAR and DFARS compliance. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to deliver next-generation air and maritime warfare capabilities through innovative engineering and systems integration. LaGore maintains longstanding relationships with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., SAIC, Teya Support Services LLC, and Kranze Technology Solutions Inc., reflecting a preference for established defense industry partners with proven expertise in aerospace systems, electronic warfare, and mission-critical IT infrastructure. These partnerships are typically structured as cost-reimbursement or fixed-price incentive contracts, emphasizing technical performance, schedule adherence, and rigorous compliance with military specifications. Her contracting approach prioritizes vendor reliability, systems integration capability, and past performance in complex government environments. Her set-aside preferences are heavily skewed toward unrestricted competition, with 95.4% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. Small business participation is minimal, with only 4.6% allocated to total small business set-asides and a negligible fraction to women-owned small businesses, indicating a primary focus on large, technically capable primes capable of delivering advanced defense systems at scale. LaGore’s procurement activity is concentrated in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), reflecting significant investment in mission planning, simulation, and embedded software; 334220 (Radio and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing) for avionics and data link systems; and 334513/334515 for industrial measurement and test instrumentation.
