Sharina N. Miller

Sharina N. Miller serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions for advanced naval aviation systems. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract management—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with the agency’s mission to modernize airborne sensor suites, electronic warfare capabilities, and mission-critical aircraft subsystems. She primarily handles technical procurement actions for engineering services, avionics integration, and aircraft system sustainment, working closely with program managers and technical stakeholders to deliver mission-ready capabilities under stringent defense acquisition regulations. Miller maintains established working 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 are characterized by long-term, high-complexity engagements focused on systems engineering, software integration, and hardware development for next-generation naval aircraft. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, risk mitigation, and technical compliance, ensuring contractors deliver interoperable, mission-critical solutions that meet Navy operational requirements. Her contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside classifications. While she does not routinely utilize socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her focus remains on acquiring the highest technical capability available through the broadest possible market, prioritizing mission effectiveness over socioeconomic preferences. Miller’s procurement expertise centers on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), and 334511 (Aeronautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), reflecting deep specialization in avionics, navigation systems, and mission computing. She routinely procures integrated hardware-software solutions, including radar and electronic attack systems, flight control interfaces, and data link architectures critical to air superiority and fleet readiness.
