Sue E. Casey

Sue E. Casey serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center (N68936), where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions that support the development and modernization of naval aviation systems. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract management—from requirements definition and solicitation to award and administration—for mission-critical technologies in avionics, sensor integration, command and control systems, and software-enabled simulation platforms. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the Center’s strategic priorities in next-generation airborne warfare capabilities. Casey maintains established working relationships with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., SAIC, Kranze Technology Solutions Inc., and Teya Support Services LLC. These partnerships are typically structured around performance-based, firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts for engineering services, systems integration, and technical support. Her approach emphasizes technical rigor, risk mitigation, and long-term vendor collaboration to sustain mission readiness and technological innovation across naval air platforms. Her contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 77.3% of awards issued without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 13.6% of awards to total small business set-asides and an additional 9% combined to HUBZone and 8(a) competed contracts, demonstrating a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission needs. Casey’s primary NAICS focus areas include Electronic Computer Manufacturing (334111), Computer Facilities Management Services (541513), and related technical services supporting avionics and mission systems. She routinely procures specialized electronics, embedded software solutions, and integrated test and evaluation systems, reflecting deep expertise in defense electronics, mission-critical computing, and systems engineering support domains.
