Kimberly D Felton

Kimberly D. Felton serves as a Purchasing Agent at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, where she plays a critical role in acquiring advanced avionics, mission systems, and electronic warfare components essential to maintaining naval air superiority. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for mission-critical aircraft subsystems, including sensor suites, communication networks, and data processing infrastructure, ensuring alignment with the agency’s modernization and sustainment priorities. Her acquisitions support the integration of next-generation technologies into legacy and emerging naval platforms, requiring deep technical understanding of defense aviation systems and strict adherence to federal acquisition regulations. Felton maintains established working 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 balanced approach between large prime contractors delivering complex integrated systems and specialized vendors providing niche engineering and manufacturing capabilities. Her contracting patterns emphasize technical precision, performance-based outcomes, and long-term sustainment support, often involving complex requirements for cybersecurity, electromagnetic compatibility, and ruggedized hardware. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity, with nearly 43% of awards directed toward small business set-asides, including 28.6% under Total Small Business Set-Aside and 14.3% under 8(a) competed programs. While the majority of her acquisitions are open to all competitors, she consistently prioritizes opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses, reinforcing the Department of the Navy’s mandate for inclusive supplier development. Felton’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS codes 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing) and 511210 (Software Publishers), with significant activity in 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) and 518210 (Data Processing Services).
