Jennifer S. Corcoran serves as a Contracting Officer at the Naval Air Warfare Center, where she plays a pivotal role in acquiring mission-critical technologies that advance naval aviation systems. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions, she specializes in contracts for avionics, sensor systems, communication equipment, and mission-critical software solutions aligned with the Navy’s strategic priorities in airborne command and control, electronic warfare, and next-generation surveillance. Her acquisitions support research, development, testing, and evaluation initiatives essential to maintaining air and maritime superiority, ensuring that technological advancements meet rigorous military standards and operational requirements. Corcoran maintains longstanding relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., and Science Applications International Corporation, as well as specialized technology providers such as Kranze Technology Solutions Inc. and Teya Support Services LLC. These partnerships reflect a consistent focus on high-technical-capability vendors capable of delivering integrated electronic systems, rapid prototyping, and mission-specific engineering support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical innovation, and rigorous compliance with defense acquisition regulations. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted under full and open competition, Corcoran maintains a deliberate 25% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong dedication to fostering small business participation in naval aviation innovation. She actively engages with small businesses possessing niche expertise in electronics manufacturing and system integration, ensuring a diverse supplier base capable of meeting the Navy’s evolving technical demands.
