Lee Ann Frayser

Lee Ann Frayser serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), where she plays a critical role in executing the acquisition lifecycle for naval aviation systems. She manages complex procurements spanning aircraft manufacturing, avionics integration, and engineering services to support the Navy and Marine Corps’ operational readiness. Her work ensures timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities, from carrier-based strike aircraft to expeditionary logistics infrastructure, aligning with NAVAIR’s strategic focus on modernizing air dominance platforms and sustaining next-generation defense systems. Frayser handles full-spectrum contract actions, including competitive solicitations, source selection, and post-award administration, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense-specific requirements. Frayser maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense prime contractors, including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, reflecting her focus on high-technology aerospace and weapons systems procurement. She collaborates closely with these industry partners to deliver integrated solutions for aircraft platforms, guided missile systems, and auxiliary equipment, often coordinating multi-year sustainment and modernization efforts. Her procurement patterns demonstrate a preference for established defense contractors with proven technical capabilities and robust quality assurance systems, ensuring mission-critical performance and interoperability across naval aviation domains. Frayser’s contracting portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects NAVAIR’s operational imperative to access the broadest possible industrial base for advanced aerospace systems, prioritizing technical superiority and schedule certainty over socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not routinely award contracts to 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB firms, her approach aligns with the agency’s mission to procure cutting-edge capabilities that require specialized engineering and manufacturing expertise typically found among large defense primes. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with significant activity in 541330 (Engineering Services) and 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing). She specializes in procuring flight systems, propulsion components, avionics suites, and mission-specific support equipment, demonstrating deep technical fluency in naval aviation platforms and their supporting infrastructure.
