LCDR James Wong

James Y. Wong serves as a Contract Specialist 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 procurement actions for mission-critical aerospace platforms, including aircraft, avionics, sensors, and integrated weapons systems, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s strategic objectives of air superiority and fleet modernization. His work spans full-spectrum contract execution—from requirements definition and solicitation to award and contract administration—supporting the sustainment and technological advancement of carrier-based and expeditionary naval aviation assets. Wong maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading defense prime contractors, including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, who provide high-performance aircraft, unmanned aerial systems, and mission-critical avionics. His contracting patterns reflect deep collaboration with industry leaders possessing proven technical capabilities in aerospace engineering and systems integration. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contract structures designed to meet rigorous military specifications and lifecycle sustainment demands. Wong’s procurement portfolio exhibits a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects the highly specialized, technology-intensive nature of the acquisitions he manages, where mission readiness and system interoperability require capabilities typically found only among established defense contractors with advanced engineering infrastructure. His primary focus lies within NAICS 334511—Aeronautical and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing—where he procures advanced radar, navigation, guidance, and electronic warfare systems essential to naval air operations. His technical expertise centers on integrated avionics, sensor fusion, and mission systems architecture, ensuring procurement decisions support cutting-edge capabilities for the Navy and Marine Corps aviation enterprise.
