Felicia Romijn

Felicia Romijn serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of critical naval aviation systems. She manages complex contracting actions for advanced aircraft components, avionics, and guided missile systems, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s mission to maintain air superiority through technological innovation and operational readiness. Her work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from requirements definition and source selection to contract administration and performance oversight—primarily for high-technology, mission-critical defense systems used by the Navy and Marine Corps. Romijn maintains sustained working relationships with leading defense prime contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with organizations that deliver integrated aerospace and weapons systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical excellence, supply chain resilience, and performance-based contracting, often engaging vendors with proven expertise in military-grade avionics, propulsion systems, and unmanned aerial vehicle platforms. These partnerships are characterized by long-term collaboration, rigorous compliance with defense acquisition regulations, and a focus on delivering mission-ready capabilities under demanding operational conditions. Romijn’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for unrestricted competitions, with 100% of her awards issued under open, full and open solicitation procedures. There is no current use of socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, indicating a focus on technical capability and industrial base readiness over socioeconomic criteria. This reflects NAVAIR’s priority on mission-critical performance and the limited availability of qualified small businesses for highly specialized aviation and missile systems. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), encompassing components such as flight control systems, radar integration hardware, and mission-specific avionics, with a secondary emphasis on NAICS 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing), including warhead systems and launch infrastructure. Her technical domain expertise lies in aerospace engineering systems requiring stringent military specifications, environmental testing, and interoperability with carrier-based and expeditionary platforms.
