Samantha C. Moore

Samantha C. Moore serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, where she plays a pivotal role in managing the acquisition of mission-critical aviation systems and subsystems essential to naval air superiority. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract execution—from requirements validation and market research to solicitation, evaluation, and award—for advanced avionics, electronic warfare suites, and aircraft integration programs. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement strategies with the agency’s priorities in modernizing airborne sensor architectures and sustaining legacy platforms. Moore’s work directly supports the development and fielding of next-generation naval aviation capabilities. She maintains longstanding relationships with prime contractors including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, THE BOEING COMPANY, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, SYSTEMS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS, INC., and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC., consistently engaging these firms on complex, high-technical-demand procurements. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical risk mitigation, and rigorous oversight of systems integration efforts. These partnerships are characterized by sustained collaboration, often involving multi-year task orders and engineering services tied to flight-critical hardware and software development. Moore’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting the specialized nature and national security sensitivity of the systems being acquired. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic set-asides, her team ensures full and open competition to maintain technical excellence and industrial base resilience across the defense aerospace sector. Her primary focus lies within NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—where she procures mission avionics, data links, radar components, and flight control subsystems, with a secondary emphasis on NAICS 336411 for aircraft integration. Her domain expertise centers on airborne electronic systems, signal processing hardware, and embedded computing platforms critical to modern naval aviation operations.
