Kayla Page

Kayla Page serves as a Purchasing Agent at the Naval Air Warfare Center, where she plays a pivotal role in acquiring mission-critical technologies that support naval aviation modernization. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurements for advanced avionics, sensor systems, communications equipment, and mission planning software, ensuring alignment with the agency’s strategic priorities in airborne command and control, electronic warfare, and systems integration. She works closely with technical stakeholders to define requirements, evaluate vendor proposals, and award contracts that meet rigorous defense performance standards, contributing directly to the development and sustainment of next-generation naval air systems. Page maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors, including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., SAIC, Kranze Technology Solutions Inc., and Teya Support Services LLC. These partnerships reflect her focus on high-technology solutions requiring deep engineering expertise, systems integration capabilities, and compliance with defense-specific standards such as MIL-STD and DoD ITAR/EAR regulations. Her contracting approach emphasizes proven performance, technical innovation, and robust supply chain reliability, often favoring established prime contractors with a demonstrated track record in naval aviation programs. Her procurement activity is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 95.8% of awards issued under full and open competition, indicating a strong emphasis on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is limited, the 4.2% allocated to Total Small Business Set-Asides reflects a measured, performance-driven approach to socioeconomic contracting rather than a policy-driven mandate. Page’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS codes related to avionics and electronic systems, particularly 511210 (Software Publishers), 334220 (Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing), and 334511 (Aeronautical and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing). She routinely acquires mission-critical hardware and software for radar, electronic warfare suites, data link systems, and real-time simulation platforms, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical domains of airborne sensor integration, signal processing, and secure communications infrastructure.
