Josephine F. Washington

Josephine F. Washington serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, where she plays a critical role in executing complex acquisitions for advanced naval aviation systems. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts supporting the development, integration, and sustainment of mission-critical avionics, electronic warfare suites, and aircraft subsystems. Her portfolio emphasizes technical procurement for next-generation airborne platforms, ensuring alignment with the Navy’s strategic priorities in air superiority and operational readiness. Washington routinely handles performance-based, fixed-price, and cost-reimbursement contracts for engineering, systems integration, and software development services. She maintains strong, long-term relationships with key industry partners including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, THE BOEING COMPANY, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, SYSTEMS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS, INC., and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-technology vendors with proven expertise in defense avionics, mission systems engineering, and aircraft component manufacturing. Washington fosters collaborative contracting environments that prioritize technical compliance, risk mitigation, and timely delivery of mission-essential capabilities. Her contracting activity reflects a strong preference for unrestricted competitions, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a focus on leveraging the broadest possible industrial base to meet demanding technical requirements, rather than targeting specific socioeconomic categories. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, she ensures fair and open competition among all qualified offerors. Washington’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS codes 511210 (Software Publishers), 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), and 541330 (Engineering Services), with additional emphasis on 611420 (Computer Training) and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing). Her work centers on procuring software-defined systems, digital engineering tools, avionics integration services, and specialized aircraft components essential to modern naval air platforms.
