Nicole Fosmoe

Nicole Fosmoe serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (N61340), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to modernize and sustain advanced aviation training systems. She manages the acquisition of engineering services critical to the development of immersive simulation environments, mission-critical avionics, and integrated tactical training solutions for naval aircrews. Her portfolio centers on engineering design, systems integration, and curriculum-enabled simulation technologies that enhance pilot readiness and operational effectiveness. Fosmoe’s work directly supports the Division’s strategic priorities in next-generation training infrastructure, ensuring acquisitions align with DoD standards for interoperability, cybersecurity, and live-virtual-constructive (LVC) training architectures. Fosmoe maintains longstanding relationships with primary contractors including STRACON SERVICES GROUP, LLC and FLIGHTSAFETY INTERNATIONAL INC, both of which provide specialized simulation systems, flight training device integration, and mission rehearsal capabilities. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, with a preference for vendors possessing deep domain expertise in naval aviation training systems. She fosters collaborative partnerships with contractors who demonstrate technical agility, rapid prototyping capabilities, and a proven track record in delivering complex training solutions under tight operational timelines. Fosmoe consistently applies a 100% small business set-aside strategy under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic contracting. All engineering services acquisitions are reserved exclusively for small businesses, ensuring broad participation from innovative firms with niche capabilities in training system design, software development, and systems engineering. This approach promotes competition, encourages emerging talent in defense-focused engineering, and aligns with DoD mandates to expand small business access to high-value technical contracts. Her procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing systems engineering, simulation modeling, human-in-the-loop testing, and avionics integration for flight training systems. She procures turnkey engineering solutions that support the development of high-fidelity simulators, synthetic training environments, and embedded training modules used across naval aviation platforms, emphasizing technical rigor, compliance with MIL-STDs, and seamless integration with existing fleet training infrastructures.
