Jamie Newman

Jamie Newman serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the acquisition and lifecycle management of critical naval aviation systems. In this role, Newman manages complex procurement actions for advanced aircraft platforms, guided missile systems, and supporting avionics infrastructure, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s mission to sustain air superiority for the Navy and Marine Corps. Their work spans the full contract lifecycle—from requirements validation and market research to solicitation, award, and contract administration—focusing on high-technology, mission-critical acquisitions that support carrier-based and expeditionary aviation capabilities. Newman maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading defense prime contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with firms that deliver integrated aerospace systems, weapons integration, and mission-critical support services. These collaborations are characterized by long-term, performance-based contracting approaches, often involving indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and technical performance metrics tied to system readiness and sustainment outcomes. Newman’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects the technical complexity and national security sensitivity of the acquisitions managed, where specialized capabilities and scale often necessitate engagement with established defense industry leaders. The majority of Newman’s procurement activity centers on NAICS 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing), with significant focus on NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 541330 (Engineering Services). Their expertise lies in procuring advanced propulsion components, avionics suites, munitions integration systems, and engineering support for next-generation naval aircraft, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense aerospace technical standards and DoD acquisition regulations.
