Willie B Humphrey

Willie B. Humphrey serves as a Contracting Officer for the Commanding Officer (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical aerospace components, electronic warfare systems, and advanced communications infrastructure to sustain naval aviation readiness. His portfolio centers on high-technical-demand procurements requiring rigorous compliance with defense standards, including cybersecurity-enabled platforms and sensor integration. He executes full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation to award and closeout—ensuring alignment with Navy modernization priorities and operational requirements for next-generation aircraft and electronic systems. Humphrey maintains strategic relationships with leading defense contractors, most notably AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC and LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION, which consistently deliver complex aerospace subsystems and integrated electronic assemblies. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical validation, and risk mitigation in high-stakes procurement environments. He collaborates closely with engineering and logistics stakeholders to ensure contractor deliverables meet stringent military specifications and sustainment timelines. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, Humphrey demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 36.1% of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He actively leverages small business capabilities to foster innovation and supply chain resilience, consistently engaging qualified vendors across multiple socioeconomic categories without preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, focusing instead on capability and capacity. His primary NAICS focus includes 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in procuring flight control components, avionics sensors, and precision instrumentation. He also manages acquisitions in 336412 (Aircraft Engine Parts) and industrial process equipment, demonstrating technical fluency in aerospace manufacturing, electronic control systems, and mission-critical hardware sustainment.
