Jessica J. Reitman

Jessica J. Reitman serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance naval aviation readiness through specialized research, development, test, and evaluation of advanced aircraft systems. She manages complex acquisitions of mission-critical avionics, flight control instrumentation, diagnostic systems, and sustainment technologies essential to next-generation naval airpower. Her portfolio centers on high-integrity, technical solutions requiring rigorous compliance with military specifications and lifecycle support requirements, ensuring operational effectiveness across carrier-based and land-based platforms. Reitman maintains long-standing partnerships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc., PCI Aviation LLC, Critical Communications, Controls and Instruments, LLC, and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC. These relationships reflect a consistent focus on established industry leaders with proven expertise in aerospace systems integration, embedded diagnostics, and mission-critical communications. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical proficiency, performance reliability, and seamless integration with existing naval aviation architectures. Reitman’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a strategic focus on technical capability and mission necessity over socioeconomic categories, prioritizing performance and system interoperability above vendor size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, her acquisitions remain accessible to all qualified vendors meeting stringent technical and quality standards. Her primary procurement focus is concentrated under NAICS Code 511210, which encompasses software publishing and the development of specialized avionics software, flight data systems, and embedded instrumentation software. She routinely procures mission-critical software solutions, real-time diagnostic tools, and integrated test platforms that enable predictive maintenance, flight system validation, and airborne data fusion—core capabilities underpinning the modernization of U.S. naval air forces.
