May Dimitrov

May Dimitrov serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, supporting the development and sustainment of advanced naval aviation systems. She manages complex acquisitions for mission-critical avionics, electronic warfare suites, and integrated sensor systems, ensuring alignment with the Navy’s strategic priorities in air superiority and fleet readiness. Her work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from requirements definition to contract award and administration—focusing on high-technology platforms requiring rigorous testing and certification under defense standards. Dimitrov’s portfolio emphasizes engineering services and specialized manufacturing to modernize legacy aircraft systems while enabling next-generation capabilities. She maintains consistent partnerships 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 relationships reflect a balanced approach between large prime contractors with deep systems integration expertise and specialized niche suppliers capable of delivering precision components and technical services. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven track records in aerospace systems, while actively fostering collaboration across technical domains such as signal processing, mission computing, and airborne communications. Dimitrov exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to engage qualified small firms in high-value engineering and manufacturing tasks, promoting innovation and workforce development within the defense industrial base. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate her portfolio, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a dedication to equitable opportunity and supplier diversity. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), with significant activity in 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing) and 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals). She regularly procures custom avionics hardware, test instrumentation, mission computer systems, and signal processing modules, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with airborne sensor integration, electronic warfare systems, and flight-critical avionics architectures.
