Haylee Yeatman serves as a Contracts Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, where she plays a critical role in executing complex acquisition strategies for advanced naval aviation systems. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts supporting the development, testing, and sustainment of mission-critical aircraft subsystems, including avionics, electronic warfare suites, communications networks, and navigation systems. Her work directly enables the agency’s mission to maintain air superiority through technological innovation and fleet readiness. Yeatman specializes in sole-source and competitive procurements under the Department of Defense’s defense acquisition framework, with a focus on engineering services, systems integration, and hardware procurement for next-generation platforms. She maintains consistent, high-volume contracting relationships with leading defense aerospace contractors including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, THE BOEING COMPANY, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, SYSTEMS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS, INC., and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC. These partnerships are typically structured around technical performance-based contracts, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, and cost-reimbursement arrangements requiring rigorous systems engineering oversight. Yeatman collaborates closely with technical stakeholders to ensure contractual language aligns with rigorous military specifications and test protocols. Yeatman’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, indicating a strategic emphasis on full and open competition to source the highest-capability solutions from industry leaders with proven defense aerospace expertise. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, she ensures compliance with all applicable socioeconomic regulations and evaluates small business capabilities where technically appropriate. Her primary focus lies within NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), where she procures integrated airborne systems, mission computer hardware, sensor suites, and embedded software for naval fighter and surveillance aircraft. Her domain expertise spans avionics architecture, electronic attack systems, and legacy platform modernization, requiring deep familiarity with MIL-STD and DO-178C compliance standards.
