Jason Haug

Jason Haug serves as a primary contracting professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), responsible for managing complex acquisitions of naval aviation systems across the full lifecycle—from research and development through sustainment and modernization. He plays a critical role in executing the agency’s mission to maintain air superiority by procuring advanced aircraft, weapons systems, avionics, and mission-critical logistics infrastructure for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. His portfolio centers on major defense programs involving carrier-based and expeditionary platforms, with a focus on technical integration, performance-based logistics, and systems engineering support. Haug’s acquisitions are typically large-scale, mission-essential contracts requiring rigorous compliance with DoD acquisition regulations and defense-specific performance metrics. Haug maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense prime contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with organizations that deliver high-performance aerospace systems and integrated mission solutions. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance incentives, and risk-sharing mechanisms to ensure system readiness and operational reliability. These partnerships are built on technical alignment, past performance evaluation, and adherence to defense industrial base standards, with a clear preference for established primes capable of supporting complex, classified, and sustainment-intensive programs. Haug’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing technical capability and programmatic efficiency, prioritizing mission need over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally targeted in his portfolio, the structure of his acquisitions often enables subcontracting opportunities through performance-based logistics and systems integration requirements. His procurement focus is exclusively within NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), encompassing the acquisition of manned and unmanned naval aircraft, propulsion systems, flight control architectures, and associated avionics suites. He specializes in procuring platforms requiring advanced sensor integration, electronic warfare capabilities, and carrier compatibility, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace engineering domains and defense acquisition lifecycle management.
