Rachel A Orosz

Rachel A. Orosz serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions for advanced naval aviation systems. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract management—from solicitation and source selection to award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and Navy-specific regulations. She specializes in procuring research, development, and engineering services critical to modernizing airborne sensor suites, electronic warfare systems, and mission-critical avionics. Orosz’s work directly supports the Division’s mission to sustain legacy platforms while integrating next-generation technologies to maintain air superiority across the fleet. Orosz maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, THE BOEING COMPANY, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, SYSTEMS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS, INC., and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC. These partnerships are primarily centered on technical integration, systems engineering, and specialized instrumentation development. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluation, and long-term sustainment planning, fostering collaborative, mission-aligned vendor relationships grounded in technical excellence and accountability. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 93.3% of awards issued without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation is limited to 6.7% of awards, primarily through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, her approach prioritizes mission-critical requirements and technical merit, aligning with the Navy’s need for high-assurance systems. Orosz’s acquisitions are heavily concentrated in NAICS 541712 (R&D in physical and engineering sciences), NAICS 334515 (instrument manufacturing for electrical signal testing), and NAICS 541330 (engineering services). She routinely procures advanced avionics, electronic test equipment, signal processing systems, and systems engineering support services, demonstrating deep expertise in airborne sensor integration, electronic warfare, and mission system sustainment within the naval aviation domain.
