Shondra Stoner

Shondra Stoner serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the acquisition and lifecycle management of critical naval aviation systems for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. She is instrumental in executing complex contracts for advanced aircraft platforms, guided missile systems, and associated avionics infrastructure, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s mission to maintain air superiority through technological innovation and operational readiness. Her work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from requirements definition and source selection to contract award and performance oversight—focusing on high-priority modernization initiatives including carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft capabilities. Stoner maintains consistent contracting relationships with industry leaders such as Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with prime contractors who deliver cutting-edge aerospace and defense systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term sustainment partnerships, technical collaboration, and performance-based contract structures that incentivize reliability and innovation. These relationships are built on a foundation of rigorous technical evaluation and mission-critical delivery timelines, ensuring platforms meet stringent naval operational standards. Stoner’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides applied to her acquisitions. This underscores a focus on maximizing technical capability and industrial capacity from the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, she ensures compliance with all federal contracting regulations and facilitates subcontracting opportunities where technically appropriate. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) and 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in airborne platforms, weapon integration, propulsion systems, and mission-critical avionics. She routinely manages contracts for next-generation fighter systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, and missile defense architectures, demonstrating specialized knowledge in aerospace engineering, systems integration, and defense logistics.
