Theresa A. Temoney

Theresa A. Temoney serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), where she plays a critical role in procuring advanced avionics, flight control systems, and diagnostic instrumentation essential to naval aviation readiness. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of complex technical acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research to contract award and administration, ensuring alignment with Navy modernization goals. She specializes in high-precision sensor systems, mission-critical test equipment, and aerospace support technologies, frequently managing contracts governed by FAR and DFARS provisions for defense-specific technical compliance. Temoney maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc., and PCI Aviation LLC. Her working model emphasizes long-term partnerships with firms possessing deep expertise in military-grade instrumentation, embedded systems, and aircraft subsystem integration. These vendors are selected based on proven technical capability, past performance, and compliance with stringent military specifications, fostering reliable supply chains for mission-critical aviation systems. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 91.1% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical superiority and industrial base capacity over socioeconomic preferences. Nevertheless, she actively supports small business participation through the 8.9% of awards designated as total small business set-asides, ensuring qualified firms contribute to the innovation pipeline without compromising mission requirements. Temoney’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals), with significant activity in NAICS 334519 and 336413. She routinely acquires precision measurement devices, flight data recorders, avionics test benches, and auxiliary aircraft components requiring high-reliability engineering. Her domain expertise centers on electronic test and measurement systems, industrial control instrumentation, and aerospace subsystems integral to aircraft sustainment and next-generation airpower development.
