Jamie M. Norris

Jamie M. Norris serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle of critical naval aviation systems. In this role, Norris executes complex procurements for aircraft components, avionics, and advanced sustainment services that directly support the Navy and Marine Corps’ air superiority mission. Specializing in full-spectrum contract actions—from solicitation through award and administration—Norris ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement outcomes with NAVAIR’s strategic modernization goals for carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft platforms. Norris maintains consistent contracting relationships with industry leaders including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering primarily with prime contractors capable of delivering high-integrity aerospace systems and integrated logistics support. These relationships are characterized by long-term collaboration on technical, engineering, and sustainment contracts, often involving classified or export-controlled technologies. Norris works closely with these vendors to manage performance-based requirements, risk mitigation, and lifecycle cost accountability across multi-year programs. Norris’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside categories. This approach prioritizes technical capability and industrial base readiness over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring access to the most capable and experienced aerospace contractors for mission-critical systems. While small business participation is not formally targeted, all acquisitions adhere to full and open competition principles under FAR Part 6. The majority of Norris’s acquisitions fall under NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in procuring airframe components, flight control systems, and mission-specific avionics. A secondary focus on NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in Physical and Engineering Sciences) underscores involvement in advanced technology maturation, including sensor integration, electronic warfare upgrades, and next-generation propulsion systems. Norris’s work directly enables the Navy’s transition to next-generation air dominance capabilities.
