She manages complex contracts spanning aircraft manufacturing, propulsion systems, avionics integration, and logistics support, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s mission to maintain air superiority through advanced technological development and fleet modernization. Her work directly enables the fielding of carrier-based and expeditionary platforms, with a focus on end-to-end acquisition processes from requirements definition through contract award and performance oversight. Scott maintains sustained relationships with leading defense prime contractors, including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with firms that deliver high-performance aircraft, unmanned aerial systems, and mission-critical avionics. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical rigor, and performance-based outcomes, often engaging contractors in integrated product teams to address evolving operational needs and system interoperability challenges. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on capability-driven sourcing rather than socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, she adheres strictly to federal acquisition regulations to ensure fair and transparent competition across the industrial base.
