Sheena L. Warner

Sheena L. Warner serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, where she plays a critical role in executing complex acquisitions for advanced naval aviation systems. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts supporting the development, testing, and sustainment of mission-critical airborne platforms, including avionics, electronic warfare suites, navigation systems, and integrated sensor architectures. Her work directly enables the Navy’s strategic priorities in air superiority and fleet readiness, focusing on high-technical-risk procurements that require rigorous engineering oversight and compliance with defense acquisition regulations. She routinely handles performance-based, fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts for research, development, and technical services. Warner 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 capabilities in aerospace systems integration, analytical instrumentation, and engineering services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance accountability, technical risk mitigation, and long-term sustainment planning, fostering collaborative, mission-aligned vendor relationships grounded in rigorous requirements definition and contract administration. Her procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible industrial base to meet the Navy’s demanding technical requirements, prioritizing capability and readiness over socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, she ensures compliance with all applicable small business subcontracting plans and promotes fair opportunity for qualified vendors. Warner’s primary NAICS focus areas include analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing, aeronautical system and instrument manufacturing, engineering services, aircraft manufacturing, and air transportation support activities. She specializes in procuring high-precision avionics, mission computer systems, electronic warfare components, and flight test instrumentation, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace engineering domains and defense systems integration.
