Rebecca Grubb

Rebecca Grubb serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of critical naval aviation systems. She manages complex contracting actions for aircraft manufacturing and auxiliary equipment, ensuring alignment with the Navy and Marine Corps’ strategic modernization goals. Her work centers on the acquisition of advanced airframes, avionics, mission systems, and logistics support infrastructure, with a focus on maintaining air superiority through technically rigorous, performance-based contracting. Grubb operates within the full spectrum of defense acquisition phases—from prototype development to long-term sustainment—ensuring compliance with DoD acquisition regulations and operational readiness requirements. Grubb maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading defense prime contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, reflecting her focus on high-capability, mission-critical platforms such as rotary-wing aircraft, unmanned aerial systems, and integrated weapons suites. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance outcomes, technical innovation, and supply chain resilience, often involving multi-year, performance-based logistics contracts. These partnerships are characterized by deep technical collaboration and long-term sustainment planning, underscoring a reliance on industry leaders with proven expertise in naval aviation systems. Grubb’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside categories. This indicates a focus on technical merit and industrial capacity over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing mission-critical capability over socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally mandated in her portfolio, her contracting decisions remain compliant with all applicable federal regulations, and she may engage small businesses as subcontractors within prime contractor teams. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in the acquisition of carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft systems, propulsion components, flight control systems, and mission-specific avionics. She specializes in procuring technologies that support next-generation naval airpower, including stealth integration, electronic warfare suites, and autonomous flight systems.
