Linda Limeri

Linda Limeri serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of critical naval aviation systems. She plays a central role in executing complex contracts for aircraft platforms, avionics, weapons integration, and logistics support infrastructure essential to maintaining U.S. Navy and Marine Corps air superiority. Her work spans the full spectrum of defense acquisition phases—from initial requirements validation through contract award and performance management—ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s strategic modernization goals for carrier-based and expeditionary aviation assets. She routinely handles high-stakes, technically demanding procurements requiring rigorous compliance with DoD acquisition regulations and systems engineering practices. Limeri maintains consistent, long-term partnerships with industry leaders including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, reflecting her focus on major defense prime contractors capable of delivering advanced aerospace and defense systems. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven track records in systems integration, flight testing, and sustainment support, often involving multi-year indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and cost-reimbursement contracts. These relationships are characterized by deep technical collaboration and rigorous performance oversight to ensure mission readiness. Limeri’s procurement portfolio shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on leveraging the broadest possible industrial base to meet urgent operational needs, prioritizing technical capability and schedule reliability over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, her approach remains compliant with all applicable federal acquisition regulations. Her primary procurement focus centers on aerospace and defense systems, including rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft, unmanned aerial systems, mission avionics, and supporting logistics and training solutions. She operates at the intersection of engineering, logistics, and program management, with deep expertise in procuring complex, high-reliability systems for maritime aviation environments.
