Sheena Tang

Sheena Tang serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance naval aviation systems through research, development, testing, and evaluation. She manages complex engineering services contracts focused on mission-critical technologies including avionics modernization, airborne command and control systems, sensor integration, and mission simulation software. Her role ensures that technical requirements are translated into compliant, performance-based acquisitions that align with strategic priorities in next-generation air and maritime warfare capabilities. She routinely oversees the full acquisition lifecycle—from market research and solicitation to contract award and administration—for high-impact R&D initiatives. Tang maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., SAIC, Teya Support Services LLC, and Kranze Technology Solutions Inc. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-driven engagements centered on systems engineering, technical analysis, and rapid prototyping of advanced aviation technologies. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical excellence, risk mitigation, and seamless integration of commercial best practices with DoD standards, fostering collaborative relationships that support sustained innovation. Tang’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This indicates a deliberate strategy prioritizing technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the Naval Air Warfare Center’s need for specialized, high-performance engineering solutions that meet stringent defense requirements. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), with an exclusive emphasis on advanced systems engineering, software development, and technical integration services for airborne platforms. She procures mission-critical capabilities in electronic warfare support, real-time data fusion, avionics reliability enhancement, and digital twin simulation environments, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical domains underpinning modern naval air operations.
