Larissa Hill

Larissa Hill serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the acquisition and lifecycle sustainment of advanced naval aviation systems. She plays a critical role in executing complex contract actions for mission-critical aerospace technologies, including aircraft platforms, avionics, sensors, and integrated weapon systems. Her work directly supports NAVAIR’s mandate to ensure air superiority through the development, testing, and fielding of next-generation carrier-based and expeditionary aviation capabilities. She routinely manages full-spectrum contracting actions—from research and development solicitations to long-term sustainment contracts—ensuring technical compliance, operational readiness, and timely delivery of systems to the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Her procurement portfolio is anchored by strategic relationships with industry leaders such as Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, who provide high-performance aerospace platforms, unmanned systems, and mission-critical avionics. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contract structures that emphasize technical innovation, systems integration, and sustainment support. She engages primarily with large prime contractors capable of delivering complex, integrated solutions under stringent military specifications, often coordinating with systems engineering teams to align contractual requirements with operational needs. Larissa’s contracting activity reflects a consistent preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This underscores a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and industrial capacity over socioeconomic categorizations, aligning with NAVAIR’s focus on mission-critical readiness and system interoperability across high-threat environments. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 334511, specializing in the acquisition of search, detection, navigation, guidance, and aeronautical systems. She routinely procures radar suites, electronic warfare components, flight control systems, and integrated mission computers—technologies central to modern naval air dominance and networked warfare. Her expertise lies at the intersection of defense aerospace engineering and federal acquisition regulation, ensuring that contracted systems meet rigorous military standards for performance, reliability, and cybersecurity.
