Priscilla Ibanez serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of critical naval aviation systems for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. She manages complex contracting actions for aircraft components, avionics, and auxiliary equipment, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s mission to maintain air superiority through modernized, mission-ready platforms. Her work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from requirements validation and source selection to contract administration and performance oversight—focusing on high-priority programs involving carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft systems. Ibanez collaborates closely with engineering, logistics, and test teams to ensure contractual deliverables meet rigorous military specifications and operational readiness standards. She maintains longstanding relationships with prime contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with industry leaders to deliver advanced aerospace systems and integrated support solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term sustainment capabilities, often involving complex systems integration and government-furnished equipment. These partnerships reflect a preference for established defense aerospace primes with proven track records in delivering mission-critical aviation platforms and supporting infrastructure. Ibanez’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition, indicating a focus on technical superiority and mission necessity over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, she adheres to all regulatory requirements and facilitates subcontracting opportunities through prime contractor performance plans. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with significant activity in aircraft manufacturing (336411) and avionics system manufacturing (334511). She specializes in procuring flight control systems, mission avionics, propulsion components, and support equipment essential to naval air operations, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace engineering standards and defense logistics frameworks.
