Stefanie Sohosky

Stefanie Sohosky serves as Technical Point of Contact for the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, where she plays a critical role in evaluating and validating technical requirements for high-performance avionics, flight control systems, and diagnostic instrumentation. Her expertise ensures that procurement initiatives align with the agency’s mission to advance naval airpower through rigorous research, development, test, and evaluation. She collaborates closely with contracting officers to define statement of work, assess technical proposals, and validate contractor deliverables, focusing on mission-critical systems that support aircraft readiness and sustainment across the Navy and Marine Corps fleets. Stefanie maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense technology providers including Lockheed Martin Corporation, BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc., PCI Aviation LLC, Critical Communications, Controls and Instruments, LLC, and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC. These partnerships are characterized by deep technical collaboration, iterative requirements refinement, and long-term engagement on complex systems integration projects. Her approach emphasizes technical rigor and performance-based outcomes, fostering trust with prime contractors experienced in military-grade avionics and embedded systems. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This reflects the highly specialized nature of the technologies procured, where only a limited pool of qualified vendors possess the requisite certifications, security clearances, and engineering capabilities to meet Navy aviation standards. Stefanie’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 334511 (aeronautical and navigation system manufacturing) and 334515 (electrical signal measurement and testing instrumentation), driving acquisitions for radar systems, flight data recorders, condition monitoring tools, and embedded diagnostic platforms. Her domain expertise centers on mission-critical aerospace electronics requiring stringent MIL-STD compliance and real-time operational reliability.
