Juyi Li

Juyi Li serves as a procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the acquisition and lifecycle management of critical naval aviation systems. Responsible for managing complex contracts spanning aircraft development, avionics integration, and technical sustainment, Li plays a key role in advancing the Navy and Marine Corps’ air superiority capabilities. Their work aligns with NAVAIR’s mission to modernize carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft fleets, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical technologies through full-spectrum contracting processes, including competitive sealed bids, negotiated procurements, and performance-based service agreements. Li maintains consistent contracting relationships with industry leaders such as Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering primarily with prime contractors experienced in defense aerospace systems. These collaborations focus on the design, testing, and sustainment of manned and unmanned aerial platforms, weapons integration, and mission systems engineering. The contracting pattern reflects a preference for established defense primes with proven track records in delivering high-reliability, mission-essential capabilities under stringent military specifications. While the majority of acquisitions—88.9%—are conducted without set-asides, Li demonstrates a measured commitment to small business participation, with 11.1% of awards directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach that prioritizes technical capability while ensuring opportunities for qualified small businesses to contribute to the naval aviation industrial base. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), with significant activity in NAICS 541715 (R&D in physical and engineering sciences) and NAICS 541611 (management consulting). This underscores deep expertise in acquiring advanced aerospace systems, flight test support, systems engineering services, and program management consulting critical to sustaining naval airpower readiness.
