Kelly Davis

Kelly Davis serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of naval aviation systems critical to U.S. Navy and Marine Corps operational readiness. Responsible for managing complex contracts under NAICS 336413, Davis specializes in the procurement of advanced aircraft components, avionics subsystems, and auxiliary equipment essential to carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft fleets. Her work directly supports NAVAIR’s mission to maintain air superiority through modernization, testing, and logistics integration, ensuring that critical systems meet rigorous military specifications and operational timelines. Davis maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense aerospace prime contractors, including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics. These partnerships center on the acquisition of high-performance systems such as rotary-wing airframes, unmanned aerial vehicle platforms, precision-guided munitions integration, and mission-critical avionics. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based contracting, and long-term sustainment planning, fostering collaborative relationships with industry partners to deliver mission-critical capabilities under demanding operational conditions. Davis’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for unrestricted, open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a focus on leveraging the full industrial base to ensure access to cutting-edge technologies and scalable production capabilities, rather than prioritizing socioeconomic set-asides. Her approach aligns with NAVAIR’s strategic need for rapid fielding of advanced systems requiring specialized engineering expertise and large-scale manufacturing capacity. Her primary technical domain is centered on NAICS 336413, encompassing the procurement of aircraft parts, flight control systems, sensor integration modules, and support equipment for naval aviation platforms. Davis’s expertise lies in managing technically complex acquisitions involving classified systems, MIL-SPEC compliance, and integrated logistics support, ensuring seamless interoperability across naval air assets.
