Stacy Wills

Stacy Wills serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions for advanced naval aviation systems. She manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—focusing on mission-critical platforms involving avionics, electronic warfare, and airborne sensor integration. Her work directly supports the agency’s mandate to modernize and sustain next-generation aircraft systems, ensuring operational readiness across the fleet. Wills specializes in sole-source and competitive procurements for high-technology aerospace subsystems, often navigating stringent technical requirements and rapid prototyping timelines. She maintains consistent working relationships with key industry partners 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 pattern of collaboration with established defense primes and mid-tier engineering firms capable of delivering integrated avionics, communications, and mission system hardware. Wills’ procurement approach emphasizes technical compliance, performance-based outcomes, and rigorous oversight to meet Navy aviation readiness goals. Wills’ contracting portfolio is entirely composed of full and open competitions, with no set-asides designated under 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a strategic alignment with the technical complexity and specialized capabilities required for naval aviation systems, where only a limited pool of qualified vendors can meet mission-critical performance standards. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, all procurements adhere strictly to FAR compliance and fair competition principles. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), underscoring her expertise in procuring airborne sensor suites, radar components, navigation systems, and mission computer hardware. She consistently engages with vendors specializing in ruggedized electronics, embedded systems, and electronic warfare countermeasures, demonstrating deep familiarity with aerospace engineering standards and DoD acquisition frameworks.
