Jessica Guy-Dietrich

Jessica Guy-Dietrich serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of advanced naval aviation systems. Though holding a secondary role, she plays a critical part in executing complex contract actions for high-priority aviation platforms, avionics, and mission-critical support systems. Her work directly enables NAVAIR’s mission to maintain air superiority through the development, testing, and logistics sustainment of carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft. She routinely handles sole-source and competitive acquisitions under the Department of the Navy’s defense procurement framework, focusing on technical specifications for aerospace systems and integrated weapon support infrastructure. Her primary contractor relationships are with industry leaders in aerospace and defense, including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics. These partnerships center on the procurement of manned and unmanned aerial systems, precision-guided munitions, sensor suites, and mission-critical avionics. Guy-Dietrich’s contracting patterns reflect a reliance on established prime contractors with proven technical capabilities and mature production pipelines, indicating a preference for vendors with deep domain expertise in naval aviation integration and sustainment. She does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical readiness and operational urgency over socioeconomic contracting preferences, aligning with NAVAIR’s emphasis on rapid fielding and system reliability. Her procurement activity is concentrated in NAICS 334511 (aeronautical and navigation systems manufacturing) and 336413 (other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing), underscoring her specialization in avionics, flight control systems, radar and targeting sensors, and mission-specific aircraft subsystems. Her technical expertise lies in acquiring integrated systems that enhance situational awareness, survivability, and strike capability across Navy and Marine Corps air platforms.
