Shaleen E Lambert

Shaleen E. Lambert serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center (N68936), where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions that support the development and modernization of naval aviation systems. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—Lambert ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical technologies in avionics, sensor integration, command and control systems, and mission simulation. Her portfolio primarily encompasses engineering services and aircraft manufacturing contracts, aligning directly with the agency’s focus on next-generation air and maritime warfare capabilities. Lambert maintains longstanding procurement relationships with leading defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., SAIC, Teya Support Services LLC, and Kranze Technology Solutions Inc. These partnerships are characterized by sustained engagement on technical, systems-integration, and support services contracts, reflecting a preference for established industry partners with proven expertise in aerospace and defense innovation. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and technical compliance in high-stakes, mission-essential programs. While the majority of her acquisitions (84.6%) are conducted without set-asides, Lambert consistently facilitates small business participation, with 15.4% of awards directed under Total Small Business Set-Asides per FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a measured commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, ensuring opportunities for qualified small businesses without compromising mission readiness or technical rigor. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting deep expertise in procuring advanced technical services such as systems engineering, software development, and avionics testing. A secondary emphasis on NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) underscores her involvement in the acquisition of specialized airframe and airborne system components. Lambert’s work directly enables the Navy’s strategic priorities in airborne surveillance, electronic warfare, and integrated mission systems.
