Rebecca Woods

Rebecca Woods serves as a key procurement lead within the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (N61340), overseeing the acquisition of advanced simulation and avionics systems critical to naval aviation readiness. She manages complex engineering services contracts aligned with the division’s mission to modernize tactical training environments, including immersive flight simulators, mission-critical avionics integration, and synthetic training infrastructure. Her work directly supports the development of next-generation curricula for pilots and aircrews, ensuring training systems meet evolving operational requirements through rigorous technical evaluation and performance-based contracting methodologies. Woods maintains a consistent partnership with STRACON SERVICES GROUP, LLC, and FLIGHTSAFETY INTERNATIONAL INC, both of which provide high-fidelity simulation platforms and integrated training solutions. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven expertise in defense-grade training systems, emphasizing technical capability, system interoperability, and lifecycle sustainment. She engages vendors through competitive sealed bidding and performance-based service contracts, prioritizing proven track records in delivering mission-critical aerospace training technologies. Woods does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical excellence and rapid capability deployment over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the urgency of modernizing naval aviation training systems. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, all procurements adhere to federal acquisition regulations and competitive fairness standards. Her procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing systems engineering, simulation architecture, software integration, and avionics development. She procures advanced training systems including distributed mission operations networks, virtual reality-based flight trainers, and embedded training software, requiring deep domain expertise in naval aviation tactics, human-machine interface design, and real-time simulation fidelity.
