Licia E. Haws serves as an Acquisition Specialist responsible for managing complex procurement initiatives across defense and aerospace-related technical domains. In this role, she executes full lifecycle contracting activities—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical requirements. Her work directly supports the acquisition of specialized components essential to national defense systems, with a focus on precision manufacturing and advanced electronics. She collaborates closely with engineering, logistics, and program management teams to align procurement strategy with operational needs, ensuring timely delivery of mission-essential capabilities. While specific contractor relationships are not currently identifiable in available data, Haws engages with a broad spectrum of industrial vendors, including Tier 1 manufacturers and niche suppliers specializing in high-reliability components. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical competency, supply chain resilience, and performance-based acquisition methods. She routinely evaluates proposals for compliance with technical specifications, quality assurance standards, and delivery timelines, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in accountability and innovation. Haws demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic targeting. This approach reflects a mission-driven prioritization of performance and readiness, where procurement decisions are anchored in the technical suitability of offerings rather than socioeconomic classifications. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with significant activity in 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing) and 335311 (Power, Distribution, and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing). She specializes in procuring avionics subsystems, electrical control units, and mission-critical hardware for aerospace platforms, demonstrating deep familiarity with military-grade specifications and ruggedized component requirements. Her expertise lies in sourcing high-integrity, low-volume production items critical to defense aviation systems.
