Nancy T. Morris

Nancy T. Morris serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the acquisition and sustainment of critical naval aviation systems for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. She manages complex contracts spanning aircraft platforms, avionics, propulsion systems, and mission-critical support equipment, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s lifecycle management objectives. Her work directly enables the modernization of carrier-based and expeditionary air fleets, with a focus on technical readiness, operational reliability, and logistical integration. She handles full-spectrum acquisitions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, including competitive sealed bidding and negotiated contracts for high-value, mission-essential capabilities. Morris maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense aerospace primes including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, reflecting her focus on advanced aircraft manufacturing and integrated systems procurement. Her engagements with these contractors typically involve long-term sustainment, engineering support, and systems integration efforts for next-generation naval aviation platforms. She also collaborates with specialized logistics and training providers such as Global Air Logistics and Training, Inc., ensuring operational readiness through comprehensive support ecosystems. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as open, unrestricted competitions (77.8%), Morris actively supports small business participation through 8(a) competed and total small business set-asides, each accounting for approximately 11.1% of her portfolio. This balanced approach reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering innovation and capacity within the defense industrial base while maintaining technical rigor and mission assurance. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), and 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), underscoring deep expertise in airframe, propulsion, and avionics subsystems. She also procures engineering services under 541330 to support systems integration and technical analysis, demonstrating a strong command of the technical domains critical to naval air superiority.
