Aundra Redmond

Aundra Redmond supports the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk in executing critical procurement activities aligned with the U.S. Navy’s fleet sustainment mission. Responsible for managing complex acquisition strategies, Redmond oversees contracts for engineering, logistics, and maintenance services essential to naval platform readiness. Their work centers on securing technical solutions that enhance maritime operational capability, including ship repair infrastructure, mission-critical communications systems, and workforce development resources. Redmond handles a diverse portfolio of solicitations under FAR Part 15, with a focus on performance-based contracting and integrated logistics support requirements. Redmond maintains established relationships with a select group of high-capacity contractors, including OBSIDIAN GLOBAL, LLC for technical logistics support, DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP for enterprise-level advisory services, and ADVANIA ISLAND EHF. for specialized maintenance systems. Partnerships also extend to niche providers such as COMPLETE PARACHUTE SOLUTIONS, INC. for safety-critical equipment and Computational Physics Inc. for advanced simulation and modeling tools. These relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven technical expertise, past performance in defense environments, and capacity to deliver under stringent Navy specifications. While the majority of procurements (80%) are conducted as unrestricted actions, Redmond consistently allocates 20% of contracting opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to fostering small business participation across the supply chain. This pattern underscores a balanced approach—prioritizing mission needs while actively expanding access for qualified small businesses without reliance on socioeconomically targeted set-asides like 8(a) or HUBZone. Redmond’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), reflecting deep engagement in naval vessel sustainment and dry-dock modernization. Additional emphasis is placed on NAICS 333310 for industrial machinery, and equally on NAICS 611519 and 611620 for technical training and operational readiness instruction. This blend highlights expertise in both hardware maintenance and human capital development, ensuring fleet readiness through integrated technical and workforce solutions.
