Shana Hwang

Shana Hwang serves as a secondary procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center, supporting the acquisition of mission-critical aviation technologies essential to naval air and maritime warfare capabilities. She plays a key role in facilitating the procurement of advanced electronics, avionics systems, and engineering services that underpin the development and sustainment of next-generation airborne command, control, and sensor platforms. Her responsibilities include assisting in the execution of complex contract actions tied to research, development, testing, and evaluation programs, ensuring alignment with Department of the Navy strategic priorities in electronic systems integration and mission simulation. Hwang routinely collaborates with a core group of prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., SAIC, Teya Support Services LLC, and Kranze Technology Solutions Inc., reflecting a preference for established defense industry partners with proven expertise in aerospace systems integration, test and evaluation, and technical services. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on long-standing vendor relationships with firms capable of delivering high-assurance electronics, mission-critical software, and specialized engineering support under strict military standards. Her procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong emphasis on open competition, with 75% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations, while maintaining a consistent 25% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach that prioritizes technical capability while actively fostering small business participation across the defense industrial base. Hwang’s primary NAICS focus areas—Printed Circuit Assembly, Engineering Services, Instrument Manufacturing for Electrical Testing, and General Warehousing and Storage—reveal deep engagement with the design, fabrication, and logistics of high-reliability electronic systems. She routinely procures custom circuit boards, test instrumentation, avionics hardware, and technical support services critical to the lifecycle management of naval aviation platforms, demonstrating specialized expertise in defense electronics procurement and systems integration.
