Roxie Allen

Rosa M. Allen serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), where she plays a critical role in executing the acquisition lifecycle for naval aviation systems. Responsible for soliciting, negotiating, and administering complex contracts, she supports NAVAIR’s mission to develop, test, and sustain advanced aircraft, weapons, and avionics for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Her portfolio primarily encompasses full-spectrum procurement actions for high-performance aerospace platforms and mission-critical systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense-specific requirements. She works closely with engineering, logistics, and program management teams to align contractual deliverables with operational readiness goals. Allen maintains sustained contracting relationships with leading defense aerospace prime contractors, including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics. These partnerships center on the procurement of manned and unmanned aerial systems, integrated avionics, propulsion components, and mission support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based acquisition strategies and risk-managed contract structures tailored to technologically advanced, low-volume production environments. She routinely engages with vendors possessing deep domain expertise in military aviation systems, fostering long-term collaboration to meet evolving fleet modernization needs. Allen’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. This underscores a strategic focus on leveraging industry’s broadest technical capabilities to meet urgent operational requirements, rather than prioritizing small business set-asides. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her work remains aligned with DoD-wide goals for industrial base resilience and technological superiority. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), encompassing carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft systems, and NAICS 334511 (Aeronautical and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), which includes radar, navigation, and targeting systems. She specializes in procuring high-integrity, flight-certified hardware and software-integrated platforms critical to air dominance and maritime strike operations.
