Skylor M. Haynes

Skylor M. Haynes serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding Officer (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval aviation and electronic warfare systems. Their role centers on securing mission-critical aerospace components, advanced communications equipment, and engineering services essential to maintaining operational readiness and technological superiority. Haynes oversees a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning sensor integration, secure data links, and electronic assembly systems, ensuring alignment with Navy aviation modernization priorities and cybersecurity resilience standards. Haynes maintains strategic relationships with leading defense contractors, most notably AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC and LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION, which provide high-performance avionics, radar systems, and electronic warfare suites. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industry leaders capable of delivering complex, low-volume, high-reliability systems under stringent military specifications. While major primes dominate the award landscape, Haynes also engages with a broad base of smaller suppliers to support niche capabilities and rapid prototyping needs. A strong commitment to small business participation is evident in Haynes’ contracting patterns, with 41.5% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation through small business vendors, particularly those with expertise in specialized electronic manufacturing and communications subsystems. While no specific socio-economic set-asides (e.g., 8(a), HUBZone) dominate, the consistent use of total small business set-asides underscores a broad-based dedication to expanding the defense industrial base. Haynes’ procurement focus is anchored in NAICS categories related to wireless communications equipment manufacturing (334220) and transportation equipment (336999), with notable activity in aerospace subsystems and electronic assembly. Though outlier categories appear in the data, the core technical domain centers on mission-critical avionics, signal processing hardware, and secure RF communications systems—areas requiring strict compliance with MIL-STD and DoD cybersecurity frameworks.
