Samantha Moore

Samantha Moore serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of naval aviation systems for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. She manages complex contracting actions for critical aircraft components, avionics, and auxiliary equipment, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s mission to maintain air superiority through advanced technological integration and operational readiness. Her work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from requirements validation and source selection to contract award and performance oversight—focusing on high-priority programs involving carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft platforms. Moore maintains established relationships with leading defense contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with industry leaders to deliver cutting-edge aerospace systems and mission-critical support infrastructure. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor, risk mitigation, and long-term sustainment planning, often engaging with prime contractors who possess deep expertise in aircraft manufacturing, weapons integration, and logistics support. She frequently collaborates with vendors capable of delivering certified, military-spec components under strict quality and compliance standards. Her contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside categories. This indicates a focus on technical capability and industrial capacity over socioeconomic classifications, prioritizing mission readiness and system interoperability. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, she remains aligned with DoD-wide goals for vendor diversity through competitive, merit-based sourcing. Moore’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), with significant activity in hardware manufacturing (332510). She specializes in procuring flight control systems, mission avionics, structural components, and ground support equipment essential to maintaining the readiness of naval air fleets. Her technical expertise spans aerospace engineering standards, military specifications (MIL-SPEC), and defense logistics frameworks.
