Victoria A. Mudd

Victoria A. Mudd 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 encompass the full lifecycle procurement of mission-critical subsystems, including avionics, electronic warfare suites, guided missile components, and mission-critical software integrations. She ensures compliance with Department of the Navy acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic modernization goals focused on air superiority and fleet readiness. Mudd routinely manages sole-source, competitive, and performance-based contracts for high-technology platforms requiring rigorous technical validation and systems engineering oversight. Mudd 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 aerospace systems integration, electronic systems testing, and mission system sustainment. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical capability, past performance, and industrial base resilience, often leveraging long-standing contractor relationships to meet urgent operational requirements while maintaining strict adherence to federal acquisition standards. Mudd’s contracting portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on accessing the broadest possible pool of technical expertise rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award structure, she ensures compliance with all applicable small business subcontracting plan requirements, facilitating opportunities for qualified vendors through tiered subcontracting arrangements. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 336419 (Other Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing), with additional emphasis on engineering services under 541330. She specializes in acquiring advanced radar systems, electronic countermeasures, navigation payloads, and integrated avionics architectures—domains requiring deep domain knowledge in defense aerospace engineering and systems interoperability.
