Leann Davis

Leann Davis serves as a Procuring Contracting Officer at the Naval Air Warfare Center (N68936), where she leads the acquisition of mission-critical technologies supporting naval aviation modernization. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of complex contracts for research, development, testing, and evaluation of advanced avionics, sensor systems, command and control platforms, and mission simulation software. Her procurement activities directly enable the Navy’s strategic priorities in airborne warfare capabilities, ensuring timely delivery of high-integrity systems that meet rigorous military specifications and cybersecurity standards. She routinely handles both firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts across the defense acquisition continuum, from prototype development to sustained support. Leann Davis maintains strong, long-term relationships with leading defense and engineering contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., SAIC, Kranze Technology Solutions Inc., and Teya Support Services LLC. These partnerships are characterized by deep technical collaboration, particularly in systems integration, software-defined architectures, and avionics modernization. She consistently engages prime contractors with proven track records in delivering classified and unclassified aerospace solutions, often coordinating multi-year task order deliveries under IDIQ vehicles and Other Transaction Authority agreements to accelerate innovation cycles. Her contracting approach prioritizes broad market access, with 85% of her awards issued as unrestricted competitions and 15% structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While she does not routinely employ 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, she actively encourages small business participation as a subcontractor and supports mentor-protégé initiatives to build capacity within the defense industrial base. Leann’s procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 541611 (management consulting for defense programs), 541512 (computer systems design), 334515 (electrical test instrumentation), 336411 (aircraft manufacturing), and 333415 (industrial environmental control systems).
