Ann L Redwine

Ann L. Redwine serves as a Contract Negotiator responsible for managing complex acquisition processes within the defense and aerospace sector. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while negotiating terms that balance mission needs, fiscal responsibility, and contractor performance expectations. Her portfolio centers on high-technology procurement involving aircraft components, propulsion systems, and guided missile technologies, requiring deep technical understanding and rigorous contract administration. Redwine works closely with engineering and program management teams to define requirements, evaluate proposals, and execute award actions that support national security objectives. Her contractor relationships are primarily with Tier 1 and Tier 2 aerospace manufacturers specializing in precision-machined parts, avionics systems, and propulsion subsystems. She engages with a mix of large prime contractors and mid-tier suppliers with proven track records in defense-grade manufacturing. Redwine emphasizes performance-based contracting, leveraging incentive structures and technical evaluation criteria to ensure quality and on-time delivery. Her negotiation style is collaborative yet firm, prioritizing long-term supplier reliability over short-term cost savings. Redwine demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 18.1% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5.

Her approach aligns with broader agency goals to foster innovation and resilience in the defense industrial base through inclusive sourcing practices. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), and 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing). She specializes in procuring mission-critical components such as turbine blades, flight control actuators, guidance modules, and composite structural elements, requiring familiarity with military specifications, ITAR compliance, and supply chain traceability standards.
