Heather A Klasmeyer

Heather A. Klasmeyer serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), where she plays a critical role in executing the lifecycle acquisition of naval aviation systems. Responsible for soliciting, negotiating, and administering complex contracts, she supports the procurement of aircraft, avionics, and mission-critical support infrastructure essential to U.S. Navy and Marine Corps air superiority. Her portfolio centers on full-spectrum acquisition activities—from initial requirements validation through contract closeout—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense-specific procurement policies. She routinely manages competitive and sole-source contracts for high-technology aerospace systems, emphasizing technical performance, schedule integrity, and cost efficiency. Klasmeyer maintains enduring relationships with leading defense contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with industry leaders in the design, integration, and sustainment of carrier-based and expeditionary aviation platforms. Her contracting approach reflects a preference for established prime contractors with proven technical capability and systems integration experience, particularly in airborne weapons, unmanned aerial systems, and advanced communications equipment. These partnerships are characterized by collaborative requirements development, rigorous technical oversight, and performance-based contract management. Her procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside categories, indicating a focus on technical merit and industrial capacity over socioeconomic preferences. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her contracting decisions align with NAVAIR’s mission-critical need for rapid access to mature, high-reliability aerospace capabilities. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Aircraft Manufacturing (336411), Engineering Services (541330), and Radio and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (334220), reflecting deep expertise in procuring airframe systems, flight control technologies, and integrated avionics. She specializes in acquisitions involving flight-critical hardware, mission systems integration, and sustainment support for naval aircraft platforms.
