Monica L White

Monica L. White serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the acquisition and lifecycle management of critical naval aviation systems for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. In this role, she executes complex procurement actions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), managing contracts for aircraft, avionics, maintenance support, and engineering services. Her work directly enables NAVAIR’s mission to sustain air superiority through the development, testing, and fielding of next-generation carrier-based and expeditionary platforms. She routinely handles sole-source, competitive, and task-order acquisitions spanning technical domains including flight systems, weapons integration, and logistics infrastructure. Monica collaborates closely with leading defense prime contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, fostering long-term partnerships to deliver advanced aerospace systems and sustainment solutions. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven track records in military aviation, though she also engages specialized support vendors such as Global Air Logistics and Training, Inc., to ensure operational readiness and training capability integration. Her relationships are characterized by technical rigor, compliance with defense acquisition protocols, and a focus on mission-critical delivery timelines. Her procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 93.9% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the technical complexity and scale of naval aviation requirements. While small business participation is limited, she consistently adheres to the 6.1% total small business set-aside threshold, primarily through FAR 19.5 mechanisms, ensuring compliant opportunities for qualified small businesses without compromising mission performance. Monica’s primary NAICS focus areas include aircraft manufacturing (336411), auxiliary equipment production (336413), and air transportation support services (488190), with significant emphasis on engineering services (541330). She procures high-integrity components, flight control systems, maintenance kits, and technical advisory services essential to maintaining naval airworthiness and operational tempo across both manned and unmanned platforms.
