Terressa S. Bebout 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. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for mission-critical avionics, electronic warfare subsystems, and aircraft integration services, ensuring alignment with the agency’s strategic goals of air superiority and fleet readiness. She specializes in negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15, often handling sole-source and competitive acquisitions for high-technology aerospace systems, with a focus on sustaining legacy platforms while enabling next-generation capabilities. Bebout 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 preference for established defense contractors with proven expertise in airborne sensor integration, mission systems engineering, and aircraft component manufacturing. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor, risk mitigation, and performance-based contracting to support mission-critical delivery timelines. Her contracting portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 92.3% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the specialized nature of the systems procured. While small business participation is limited, she consistently adheres to FAR 19.5 guidelines, allocating 7.7% of opportunities to total small business set-asides when technically feasible and market conditions permit. Bebout’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), with significant activity in engineering services (541330) and the manufacture of aeronautical navigation and guidance systems (334511). She routinely acquires advanced avionics, radar integration hardware, communications suites, and mission computer subsystems, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with airborne system architectures and defense aerospace supply chain dynamics.
