Shannon R. Bryner

Shannon R. Bryner serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, supporting the development, testing, and sustainment of advanced naval aviation systems. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions in avionics, electronic warfare, and mission-critical aircraft subsystems, Bryner ensures alignment with the Navy’s strategic modernization goals. Their work spans the full lifecycle of technical contracts—from requirements definition through contract award and performance oversight—focusing on high-priority programs that enhance air superiority and fleet readiness. Bryner routinely handles sole-source and competitive procurements for classified and unclassified aerospace technologies, often coordinating with engineering and operational stakeholders to meet urgent capability gaps. Bryner maintains established 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 preference for experienced prime contractors with proven expertise in airborne sensor integration, communications systems, and avionics sustainment. Working patterns indicate a reliance on long-term, mission-critical vendor relationships, often involving technical interchange, prototyping, and rapid fielding of next-generation capabilities under time-constrained delivery schedules. While the majority of acquisitions (83.7%) are conducted without set-asides, Bryner consistently allocates approximately 16.3% of contract opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a structured commitment to small business participation. There is no indication of targeted use of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, suggesting a focus on broad small business engagement rather than specific socioeconomic categories. Bryner’s procurement activity centers on NAICS codes related to radio and wireless communications equipment (334220), instrumentation for electrical signal testing (334515), and aircraft subsystem manufacturing. Their technical domain expertise lies in avionics integration, electronic warfare systems, and mission computer modernization, with recurring needs for precision test equipment, signal processing hardware, and embedded firmware solutions critical to next-generation naval aircraft platforms.
