Mary V Broadhurst

Mary V. Broadhurst serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, where she plays a critical role in executing complex acquisitions for advanced naval aviation systems. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract management—from requirements definition and solicitation to award and administration—for high-priority R&D and engineering services supporting air superiority platforms. She specializes in procuring mission-critical avionics, electronic warfare systems, and next-generation sensor suites, ensuring alignment with the Navy’s strategic modernization goals. Broadhurst works closely with technical stakeholders to translate operational needs into legally compliant, performance-based contracts that drive innovation and sustain legacy fleet capabilities. She maintains established working relationships with leading defense contractors including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, THE BOEING COMPANY, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, SYSTEMS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS, INC., and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC. These partnerships reflect a consistent focus on prime contractors with proven expertise in aerospace systems integration, mission software development, and precision instrumentation manufacturing. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance outcomes, technical rigor, and long-term sustainment, fostering collaborative relationships grounded in compliance and mission readiness. Broadhurst’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% preference for unrestricted, full and open competitions, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects the highly specialized nature of the technical requirements she supports, where domain-specific capabilities and security clearances often necessitate qualified large-system integrators with mature infrastructure and deep technical pedigree. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 541712 (R&D in physical and engineering sciences), 541330 (engineering services), and 334519/335999 (specialized measuring devices and electrical components), underscoring her expertise in procuring advanced avionics, navigation systems, and mission-critical electronic subsystems. She consistently supports acquisitions requiring stringent MIL-STD compliance, systems engineering rigor, and integration into next-generation naval aircraft platforms.
