Rebecca Via

Rebecca Via serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Headquarters, supporting the acquisition and lifecycle management of advanced naval combat systems. She plays a critical role in executing strategic contracts for guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing, ensuring the Navy’s fleet remains technologically superior and operationally ready. Her work directly supports the modernization of next-generation warships and undersea platforms by overseeing complex, high-stakes acquisitions of mission-critical systems, including propulsion, sensors, and integrated combat architectures. Via’s portfolio emphasizes end-to-end contract execution—from requirements definition through delivery and sustainment—aligning with NAVSEA’s mission to maintain maritime dominance through cutting-edge naval engineering. She maintains enduring relationships with industry leaders such as Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, and Damen Shipbuilding & Cooperation B.V., partnering with prime contractors capable of delivering large-scale, systems-integrated naval platforms and subsystems. Her contracting approach favors established defense industrial base partners with proven expertise in naval architecture, missile systems, and electronic warfare integration. These relationships are characterized by long-term collaboration, technical alignment, and adherence to stringent Navy quality and compliance standards, reflecting a focus on mission-critical performance over transactional procurement. Via’s procurement activity is exclusively conducted under open competition, with no set-asides applied to her portfolio. This reflects a strategic prioritization of technical capability, scale, and mission readiness over socioeconomic contracting preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her acquisitions, all contracts are awarded based on merit, technical superiority, and full compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 336414—Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing—where she procures advanced naval ordnance, guidance systems, combat management software, and integrated shipboard electronics. Her technical expertise spans missile defense architectures, autonomous underwater systems, and electronic warfare suites, positioning her at the forefront of naval innovation and warfighting capability development.
