Lisa R Grossman

Lisa R. Grossman serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), where she plays a critical role in executing the acquisition lifecycle for advanced naval aviation systems. Responsible for planning, soliciting, awarding, and managing complex contracts, she supports NAVAIR’s mission to develop, test, and sustain cutting-edge aircraft, weapons, and avionics for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Her portfolio primarily encompasses full-spectrum procurement activities for manned and unmanned aerial platforms, mission-critical communications equipment, and integrated logistics support services, ensuring operational readiness and technological superiority across carrier-based and expeditionary air wings. Grossman maintains consistent, high-volume contracting relationships with leading defense prime contractors, including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics. These partnerships are centered on the procurement of next-generation rotary-wing and fixed-wing platforms, precision-guided munitions, and airborne sensor systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based acquisition strategies, technical risk mitigation, and lifecycle sustainment planning, fostering long-term collaboration with industry partners capable of delivering high-assurance, mission-critical capabilities under stringent military specifications. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a strategic focus on leveraging the broadest possible industrial base to meet NAVAIR’s technical and operational requirements, with minimal reliance on socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her approach prioritizes capability, scalability, and mission readiness over socioeconomic targeting. Grossman’s primary NAICS focus areas—336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) and 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing)—reflect her specialization in procuring advanced airframes, propulsion systems, secure data links, and electronic warfare suites. She routinely manages contracts for integrated avionics, radar systems, and communication networks essential to naval air dominance, demonstrating deep technical fluency in aerospace engineering and defense communications standards.
