Sonja Scott

Sonja Scott 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 avionics, electronic warfare suites, and aircraft subsystems essential to maintaining air superiority. Her portfolio emphasizes technical acquisitions involving integrated sensor systems, communications architectures, and mission-critical software, aligning closely with the agency’s mission to modernize next-generation naval aircraft platforms. Scott works closely with engineering and program offices to ensure contractual terms reflect operational requirements and technical specifications. She maintains longstanding 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 sustained collaboration on high-complexity, engineering-intensive procurements requiring rigorous technical oversight and compliance with defense acquisition regulations. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and adherence to technical standards for airborne systems. Sonja Scott’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside classifications. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her contracting practices remain fully compliant with federal acquisition regulations and emphasize value-driven outcomes over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with significant activity also in custom computer programming services, aircraft manufacturing, and wireless communications equipment. She specializes in acquiring embedded systems, signal processing hardware, mission software, and integrated avionics architectures that support next-generation naval air platforms.
