Gregory S Lee

Gregory S. Lee serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), where he plays a critical role in executing the lifecycle acquisition of advanced naval aviation systems. He manages complex contract actions for the development, testing, and sustainment of aircraft, guided missile systems, avionics, and related aerospace technologies. His work directly supports NAVAIR’s mission to maintain air superiority through the procurement of cutting-edge platforms and enabling infrastructure for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Lee specializes in full-spectrum contracting for defense aerospace programs, including sole-source, competitive, and performance-based acquisitions under FAR and DFARS frameworks. Lee maintains consistent, high-volume contracting relationships with leading defense primes including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics. These partnerships center on the design, integration, and logistical support of carrier-based aircraft, unmanned aerial systems, and precision-guided munitions. His procurement approach emphasizes technical compliance, risk mitigation, and performance accountability, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to ensure mission readiness and operational sustainability across evolving threat environments. Lee’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with 100% of his awards issued under no set-aside conditions. While he does not routinely utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his focus remains on securing mission-critical capabilities from industry leaders with proven technical expertise and production scalability. This reflects NAVAIR’s strategic priority to prioritize performance and technological maturity over socioeconomic preferences in high-stakes aerospace acquisitions. His primary NAICS focus areas include guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing, aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment production, and aeronautical system instrumentation. He routinely procures advanced avionics, flight control systems, propulsion components, and integrated weapons subsystems, demonstrating deep technical fluency in aerospace engineering domains. Lee’s expertise ensures that procurement actions align with the Navy’s modernization goals for next-generation carrier air wings and expeditionary aviation forces.
