Michele M Webb

Michele M. Webb serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), where she plays a critical role in executing the acquisition lifecycle for naval aviation systems. Responsible for soliciting, negotiating, and awarding contracts, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while supporting NAVAIR’s mission to develop, test, and sustain advanced aircraft, avionics, and weapons systems for the Navy and Marine Corps. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex technical acquisitions in aircraft manufacturing, engineering services, and research and development, requiring deep subject matter expertise in aerospace systems and defense logistics. Webb maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense prime contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with these organizations to deliver high-performance aviation platforms and mission-critical subsystems. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, risk mitigation, and technical oversight, ensuring that contractor deliverables align with operational readiness requirements. She frequently engages in multi-year, systems-integration contracts that span design, prototyping, and sustainment phases, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in technical rigor and accountability. Webb’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting the strategic nature of NAVAIR’s acquisitions, which require specialized capabilities typically available only through large, established defense contractors with proven track records in classified and high-technology environments. While small business participation is not a primary focus in her portfolio, her work adheres strictly to statutory requirements and supports broader agency goals through competitive, full-and-open procurement practices. Her primary NAICS focus areas include aircraft manufacturing (336411), aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment (336413), and engineering services (541330), underscoring her expertise in procuring airframe systems, propulsion components, and advanced avionics. She routinely manages contracts involving flight control systems, radar integration, and mission systems development, demonstrating specialized knowledge in naval aviation technology and lifecycle sustainment.
