Gregory Webster

Gregory Webster serves as a primary contracting professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), where he plays a critical role in executing the acquisition lifecycle for advanced naval aviation systems. He manages complex procurements spanning aircraft propulsion, avionics integration, and expeditionary logistics support, ensuring alignment with the Navy’s strategic imperatives for air superiority and fleet modernization. His work directly supports the sustainment and enhancement of carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft platforms, with a focus on technical rigor, lifecycle cost efficiency, and mission-critical readiness. Webster maintains consistent procurement relationships with industry leaders including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with prime contractors who deliver high-performance aerospace systems and mission-critical support services. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based logistics, and systems integration expertise, particularly in rotary-wing platforms, unmanned aerial systems, and advanced propulsion technologies. These partnerships are characterized by technical alignment, rigorous compliance with defense acquisition regulations, and a focus on sustained operational capability. His procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 83.3% of awards issued without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on technical superiority and industrial capacity over socioeconomic classifications. However, he maintains a deliberate 16.7% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced approach that prioritizes mission needs while enabling small business innovation in niche aerospace support domains. Webster’s primary NAICS focus areas—336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing) and 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation)—reflect his specialization in propulsion systems, maintenance logistics, and aviation infrastructure support. He routinely procures mission-critical components such as turbine engines, flight control systems, and sustainment services for naval aircraft fleets, requiring deep technical understanding of military aviation standards and defense supply chain dynamics.
