Janice E. Woehrer

Janice E. Woehrer serves as a Contracting Officer within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle of critical naval aviation systems. She oversees the procurement of aircraft components, avionics, engineering services, and mission-critical support systems essential to maintaining air superiority for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Her portfolio includes complex, technically demanding contracts spanning research, development, testing, and sustainment of carrier-based and expeditionary platforms, with a focus on ensuring operational readiness through timely and compliant acquisition practices. Woehrer maintains enduring relationships with industry leaders including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with prime contractors capable of delivering advanced aerospace systems and integrated logistics solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and technical compliance, often involving multi-year, high-visibility programs requiring stringent oversight of defense-specific standards such as MIL-STD and DO-160. She frequently engages with vendors possessing deep domain expertise in airborne systems integration and sustainment. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 93.6% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting the technical complexity and scale of NAVAIR’s requirements. When set-asides are utilized, they are primarily directed toward Total Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to socioeconomic objectives within mission-critical acquisition environments. Woehrer’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting her specialization in airframe subsystems, flight control systems, and technical support services. She routinely procures precision-manufactured components, avionics architecture, and systems engineering support critical to modernizing naval aviation fleets, underscoring her technical fluency in aerospace engineering and defense acquisition frameworks.
