Marissa June

Marissa June supports the Naval Air Warfare Center’s mission by managing complex procurement initiatives focused on advancing naval aviation technologies. Though her official title is not listed, her role centers on executing strategic acquisitions for research, engineering, and systems integration services critical to next-generation airborne command and control, avionics modernization, and mission simulation capabilities. She interfaces across technical and administrative domains to ensure contract vehicles align with the agency’s R&D priorities, facilitating the transition of innovative solutions from concept to operational deployment. Her acquisitions typically involve service-based contracts under FAR Part 15, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and technical merit evaluations. Marissa routinely engages with leading defense and aerospace contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., SAIC, Kranze Technology Solutions Inc., and Teya Support Services LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven expertise in systems engineering, mission planning software, and technical advisory services. Her contracting patterns suggest a balanced reliance on large prime contractors for integrated solutions, while maintaining avenues for subcontracting and teaming arrangements with specialized small businesses to augment technical capacity. Her procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she consistently allocates 25% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate and structured commitment to small business participation without reliance on socioeconomically targeted programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This approach prioritizes technical capability and market competition while ensuring small businesses have meaningful access to high-value R&D work. Marissa’s primary NAICS focus areas include Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences; Engineering Services; and Administrative Management Consulting, each representing 25% of her portfolio. She procures advanced avionics integration, mission system simulation tools, systems engineering support, and technical advisory services essential to sustaining naval air superiority. Her domain expertise lies at the intersection of defense R&D and systems lifecycle management, ensuring acquisitions deliver mission-critical capabilities with operational readiness.
