Sabana Moore-Barnes

Sabana Moore-Barnes serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, supporting the acquisition of advanced aviation systems critical to fleet readiness and air superiority. She manages complex contracts for mission-critical avionics, electronic warfare subsystems, and aircraft auxiliary equipment, ensuring alignment with the Navy’s modernization priorities. Her work bridges technical requirements with acquisition execution, facilitating the integration of next-generation sensor suites, communications networks, and sustainment solutions for legacy and emerging platforms. Moore-Barnes operates within a high-stakes operational environment where precision, compliance, and rapid delivery are paramount to maintaining naval air dominance. She maintains sustained relationships with leading defense contractors 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 focus on tier-one systems integrators and specialized manufacturers capable of delivering high-reliability aerospace components and mission systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and long-term sustainment planning, often involving complex engineering support and rapid prototyping contracts. Moore-Barnes does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her acquisitions awarded under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible industrial base with proven technical capability, rather than prioritizing small business set-asides. Her contracting patterns prioritize mission-critical performance over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the Navy’s urgent operational needs. Her procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly focused on NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—indicating deep specialization in airborne subsystems such as radar interfaces, mission computers, data links, and avionics enclosures. A smaller portion of her activity involves NAICS 314999, reflecting niche procurement of specialized textile components for aerospace applications. Her expertise lies in the technical domain of airborne systems integration, with a clear emphasis on ruggedized, high-performance hardware essential to naval aviation operations.
