Peggy Belcher

Peggy M. Belcher serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), where she plays a critical role in executing the lifecycle acquisition of advanced naval aviation systems. Her responsibilities encompass the full spectrum of contracting activities—from requirements definition and solicitation development to award administration and contract closeout—for high-priority defense programs. She specializes in complex, technical procurements involving guided missile systems, aerospace components, and mission-critical avionics, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s strategic objectives of maintaining air superiority and modernizing carrier- and expeditionary-based fleets. Her work directly supports the Navy and Marine Corps’ operational readiness through disciplined application of FAR and DFARS regulations. Belcher maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading defense primes including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with these firms on integrated weapons systems, unmanned aerial platforms, and advanced propulsion technologies. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based contracting, and systems integration support, often coordinating across multiple program offices to streamline multi-year acquisition efforts. She works closely with contractors to ensure technical compliance, schedule adherence, and supply chain resilience in support of mission-critical naval aviation capabilities. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on maximizing technical capability and industrial base efficiency rather than socioeconomic targeting. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her contracts often include subcontracting opportunities that enable small business participation through prime contractor obligations. Belcher’s primary NAICS focus areas center on guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing (336414), with significant activity in related categories including ammunition production (332993), aircraft component manufacturing (336413), and defense-oriented R&D (541712). She routinely procures advanced munitions, flight control systems, sensor suites, and missile defense technologies, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace engineering, systems integration, and national security hardware development.
