Lauren Britt

Lauren Britt serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the acquisition and sustainment of critical naval aviation systems. She manages complex contracts for advanced aircraft components, guided missile systems, and associated logistics infrastructure, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s mission to maintain air superiority through lifecycle management of carrier-based and expeditionary platforms. Her work directly supports the modernization of naval aviation fleets by facilitating timely delivery of mission-critical hardware and technical services across the Department of Defense’s aviation enterprise. Britt maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense prime contractors, including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, who provide advanced rotary-wing aircraft, strike systems, and unmanned aerial platforms. Her contracting patterns reflect deep collaboration with established industry leaders capable of delivering high-assurance, classified, and technologically sophisticated systems. She engages these partners through performance-based contracts, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms, and technical evaluation processes that prioritize technical readiness, supply chain resilience, and systems integration capability. Britt’s procurement portfolio is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on leveraging the broadest industrial base to meet urgent operational requirements for advanced naval aviation systems, with no formal preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. While small business participation is not structurally prioritized in her portfolio, she ensures compliance with all federal subcontracting reporting and oversight requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in avionics, flight control systems, munitions integration, and propulsion subcomponents. She specializes in procuring mission-critical hardware for naval strike, surveillance, and defensive systems, requiring stringent adherence to MIL-SPEC standards and defense acquisition regulations.
