Karamie Platt

Karamie Platt serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), where she plays a pivotal role in executing the lifecycle acquisition of critical naval aviation systems. Responsible for managing complex procurement actions from solicitation through contract award and administration, Platt supports NAVAIR’s mission to sustain and modernize carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft, weapons, and avionics. Her portfolio primarily encompasses the acquisition of aircraft components, auxiliary equipment, and air transportation support services, ensuring technical compliance, regulatory adherence, and timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities to the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Platt maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading defense contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, with whom she manages high-stakes contracts for advanced aerospace systems and integrated logistics support. Her working model emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical rigor, performance accountability, and supply chain resilience, often involving complex technical specifications for flight-critical components and sustainment infrastructure. Platt’s contracting activity is exclusively focused on full and open competition, with no set-asides applied to her portfolio. This reflects NAVAIR’s strategic emphasis on leveraging industry-wide technical capacity to meet demanding operational requirements, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not a primary mechanism in her acquisitions, her approach remains fully compliant with federal procurement regulations and aligned with NAVAIR’s priority of mission readiness over socioeconomic targeting. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 336413, encompassing the acquisition of other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, including avionics, flight control systems, and mission-specific hardware. She also engages in NAICS 488190 for air transportation support services such as maintenance, training, and technical logistics. Platt’s expertise centers on high-reliability aerospace manufacturing and integrated sustainment solutions critical to naval airpower readiness.
