Ryan Twomey

Ryan Twomey 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 air superiority. He manages complex contracts for the development, testing, and maintenance of advanced aircraft platforms, weapons systems, and mission-critical avionics, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s strategic modernization goals. His work directly enables the fielding of carrier-based and expeditionary aviation capabilities, with a focus on end-to-end acquisition processes from requirement definition through contract closeout. Twomey operates within a high-stakes, technically demanding environment where timely delivery and operational readiness are paramount. He maintains longstanding relationships with leading defense prime contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, consistently engaging these industry leaders on high-priority programs involving rotary-wing aircraft, unmanned aerial systems, and integrated weapon platforms. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical risk mitigation, and long-term sustainment planning, fostering collaborative partnerships that prioritize innovation and mission success. These relationships reflect a pattern of sustained engagement with established defense aerospace contractors capable of delivering complex, classified, and interoperable systems. Twomey’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 91.7% of awards issued without set-aside designations. While small business participation is limited, the 8(a) competed awards he supports indicate a measured, compliance-driven engagement with socioeconomically disadvantaged firms, primarily in specialized technical support roles rather than primary system integration. His procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 336411 — Aircraft Manufacturing — underscoring deep expertise in the design, production, and modification of military aircraft and their subsystems. He routinely oversees acquisitions involving flight control systems, radar integration, electronic warfare suites, and propulsion technologies, demonstrating specialized knowledge in aerospace engineering standards and defense acquisition regulations.
