Rebecca A. Fragman

Rebecca A. Fragman serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, supporting the development, testing, and sustainment of advanced naval aviation systems. She manages complex acquisitions for mission-critical avionics, electronic warfare subsystems, and airborne sensor integration, ensuring alignment with the Navy’s strategic priorities in air superiority and fleet readiness. Her work spans the full contract lifecycle—from requirements definition to award and administration—focusing on high-technology systems that enhance aircraft command, control, communications, and navigation capabilities. Fragman operates within a technical procurement environment requiring deep domain knowledge of aerospace and defense systems. She maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense contractors including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, THE BOEING COMPANY, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, SYSTEMS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS, INC., and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven expertise in airborne systems integration, electronic component manufacturing, and mission-critical software development. Fragman’s contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and long-term sustainment support, often requiring specialized engineering and certification capabilities. Her procurement portfolio is predominantly open competition, with 83.3% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting the technical complexity and limited vendor base for advanced aviation systems. However, she consistently allocates 16.7% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation where capabilities align with mission needs. Fragman’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334511 (aeronautical and nautical system and instrument manufacturing), with significant activity also in electronic connector manufacturing, computer storage device production, and audio/video equipment manufacturing—all critical to modern avionics architectures. Her expertise centers on procuring high-reliability components and integrated systems for next-generation naval aircraft, requiring strict adherence to MIL-STD and DO-178C compliance standards.
