Roslynn Herbert

Roslynn Herbert serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of naval aviation systems critical to U.S. Navy and Marine Corps operational readiness. She manages complex contracting actions for advanced aircraft components, avionics systems, and mission-critical engineering services, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s strategic modernization goals. Her work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from requirements definition and source selection to contract execution and performance oversight—focusing on high-technology platforms that maintain air superiority and expeditionary capability. Her role is central to delivering cutting-edge aviation systems while adhering to federal procurement regulations and defense acquisition policy. Her primary contractor relationships are with industry leaders in aerospace and defense, including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, reflecting her focus on large-scale, systems-integrated procurement. These partnerships involve the development and integration of next-generation rotary-wing and unmanned aircraft systems, precision-guided munitions, and advanced avionics. She also engages with specialized logistics and training providers such as Global Air Logistics and Training, Inc., ensuring comprehensive sustainment solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical innovation, and long-term system reliability. Her procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards conducted under full and open competition, indicating a strong preference for capability-driven sourcing over socioeconomic set-asides. This reflects the mission-critical nature of the systems she acquires, where technical maturity and industrial base capacity are prioritized over socioeconomic criteria. While small business participation is not formally structured through set-asides, she may still incorporate small business subcontractors under prime contracts to support specialized capabilities. Her primary NAICS focus is 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—indicating deep expertise in procuring flight-critical components such as actuators, avionics enclosures, and mission system interfaces. She also engages in 541715 research and development contracts, supporting advanced engineering efforts in propulsion, sensor fusion, and electronic warfare systems. Her technical domain centers on naval aviation hardware and integrated systems requiring rigorous certification and operational validation.
