Jason G Lawson

Jason G. Lawson serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions for advanced naval aviation systems. He manages the full lifecycle of contracts supporting the development, testing, and sustainment of mission-critical avionics, electronic warfare suites, and aircraft subsystems. His portfolio emphasizes high-technical-risk procurements aligned with the Navy’s strategic priorities in air superiority and fleet readiness, including integrated sensor systems, navigation guidance platforms, and next-generation aircraft communications. Lawson ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while facilitating timely delivery of capabilities critical to operational aerospace dominance. He maintains enduring relationships with prime contractors including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, THE BOEING COMPANY, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, SYSTEMS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS, INC., and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established defense aerospace primes and specialized engineering firms capable of delivering high-integrity, mission-essential systems. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical risk mitigation, and rigorous requirements validation, fostering collaborative, long-term vendor engagement grounded in technical credibility and delivery reliability. Lawson’s acquisition portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a consistent focus on full and open competition. While he does not routinely utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his procurements remain compliant with all federal small business participation goals, often incorporating subcontracting opportunities through prime contractor performance plans. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), and 334511 (Aeronautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), with significant activity in 541712 (R&D in Physical and Engineering Sciences) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services). He specializes in acquiring integrated avionics, radar and electronic warfare systems, flight control hardware, and mission computing platforms—domains requiring deep technical expertise and rigorous systems engineering oversight.
