Rosalyn A. Dickerson serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, where she plays a critical role in executing complex acquisitions that support the development, testing, and sustainment of advanced naval aviation systems. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for engineering services and facility-related construction, ensuring compliance with FAR and Navy-specific procurement policies. She specializes in securing mission-critical technologies such as avionics, electronic warfare subsystems, and integrated mission systems, aligning acquisitions with the Division’s strategic goals of air superiority and fleet readiness. Dickerson maintains established working relationships with key industry partners 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 balance between large prime contractors delivering integrated technical solutions and specialized firms providing niche engineering and manufacturing support. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, technical evaluation rigor, and long-term sustainment planning to ensure system interoperability and operational reliability. While the majority of her acquisitions—83.3%—are conducted without set-asides, she consistently facilitates 16.7% of awards under Total Small Business Set-Asides in accordance with FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses without compromising mission requirements. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns prioritize capability over size, ensuring qualified small firms contribute meaningfully to high-priority technical efforts. Her primary NAICS focus areas are 541330 (Engineering Services) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting her dual expertise in technical systems integration and infrastructure support. She procures a wide range of services including systems engineering, test and evaluation, mission software development, and facility upgrades essential to maintaining operational readiness across naval aviation platforms.
