Lee Ann Frayser

Lee Ann Frayser serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the acquisition and lifecycle sustainment of critical naval aviation systems. She plays a central role in executing contract actions for advanced aerospace and weapons technologies that underpin U.S. Navy and Marine Corps air superiority missions. Her responsibilities include managing complex solicitations and award processes for high-priority programs involving guided missiles, ordnance systems, and integrated avionics, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s strategic modernization goals and defense acquisition regulations. Her work directly enables the fielding and maintenance of carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft platforms. Frayser maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading defense prime contractors, including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, reflecting her focus on large-scale systems integration and advanced manufacturing. She frequently engages these vendors on technical programs requiring deep engineering collaboration, such as unmanned aerial systems, missile defense architectures, and precision-guided munitions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical risk mitigation, and long-term sustainment support, fostering partnerships built on reliability and mission-critical delivery. Frayser’s contracting portfolio exhibits no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate alignment with NAVAIR’s priority to leverage the broadest industrial base for high-technology, mission-essential systems, where specialized capabilities are concentrated among a limited number of qualified primes. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, her processes remain compliant with all federal acquisition regulations and promote fair competition among qualified industry participants. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing) and 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing), underscoring her expertise in weapons systems, explosive ordnance disposal technologies, and related subsystems. She routinely procures flight-critical components, guidance systems, warheads, and integrated fire control solutions, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense-specific technical standards and military specification requirements.
