Jason M. Hewitt

Jason M. Hewitt serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding Officer’s office (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval aviation and electronic warfare systems. He oversees the procurement of mission-critical aerospace components, advanced electronic assemblies, and specialized engineering services essential to maintaining operational readiness. His role centers on ensuring timely delivery of high-integrity systems that support next-generation sensor integration, secure communications, and avionics modernization across naval aircraft platforms. Hewitt’s acquisitions are strategically aligned with the Navy’s priorities in electronic warfare resilience and cybersecurity-enabled infrastructure. His primary contractor relationships are dominated by industry leaders such as Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and Lockheed Martin Corporation, with whom he maintains long-term, performance-based contracting arrangements. These partnerships focus on complex systems integration, rapid prototyping of electronic warfare countermeasures, and certified engineering support services. Hewitt’s contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, compliance with military specifications, and sustained vendor accountability through performance metrics and lifecycle support obligations. Hewitt’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside categories. This indicates a deliberate emphasis on technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing the most qualified industrial partners regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, the structure of his contracts allows for subcontracting opportunities consistent with prime contractor obligations. His primary NAICS code focus—611430 (Professional and Management Development Training)—reflects a unique emphasis on workforce development for advanced technical domains. Rather than procuring physical goods, Hewitt primarily funds specialized training programs that certify naval personnel and contractor engineers in electronic warfare systems, secure communications protocols, and aerospace maintenance methodologies, ensuring a skilled, mission-ready workforce across the naval aviation enterprise.
