Victoria Cordial

Victoria Cordial serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the acquisition and lifecycle management of critical naval aviation systems for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. In this role, she manages complex contracting actions for aircraft platforms, avionics, weapons integration, and associated logistics support, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical delivery timelines. Her work directly enables NAVAIR’s strategic priorities in modernizing carrier-based and expeditionary air capabilities, with a focus on technical procurement across aerospace and defense domains. She routinely handles full and open competitions as well as targeted set-asides, balancing operational urgency with regulatory rigor. Cordial maintains longstanding contracting relationships with leading defense primes including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with these vendors on high-stakes programs involving manned and unmanned aerial systems, sensor integration, and maintenance support infrastructure. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, incentive structures, and risk-sharing mechanisms to ensure technical fidelity and sustainment readiness. She collaborates closely with program managers and technical evaluators to align contract requirements with system readiness goals. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as full and open competitions, Cordial demonstrates a consistent commitment to small business participation, with approximately 18.8% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively engages with qualified small businesses in aerospace manufacturing and technical services, fostering supplier diversity without compromising mission performance. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories including 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), 334511 (Aeronautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), and 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting deep expertise in avionics, flight control systems, and mission-critical engineering support. She regularly procures advanced communication equipment, navigation systems, and specialized aircraft components essential to naval air superiority.
