Stacie L Stanbery

Stacie L. Stanbery serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical aviation systems and subsystems essential to naval air superiority. Her portfolio encompasses the full lifecycle procurement of advanced avionics, electronic warfare equipment, and aircraft instrumentation, ensuring alignment with the Navy’s modernization and sustainment objectives. She plays a pivotal role in executing complex contract actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, coordinating with technical stakeholders to define requirements, evaluate proposals, and administer performance-based contracts for high-technology aerospace systems. Stanbery maintains consistent 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 reflect a focus on integrated systems development, precision manufacturing, and mission-critical software solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, risk mitigation, and performance accountability, fostering long-term vendor collaboration on high-priority naval aviation programs. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted—reflecting the specialized nature of the technologies involved—she actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding the defense industrial base. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns prioritize qualified small businesses capable of delivering niche aerospace components and engineering services. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers for defense applications), 332710 (Machine Shops), 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Electrical Signals), and 336413 (Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing). These categories underscore her expertise in procuring embedded systems, sensor suites, test instrumentation, and precision-machined components critical to next-generation naval aircraft platforms.
