Brittany N Kirkegard

Brittany N. Kirkegard serves as a primary procurement lead within Navsup Weapon Systems Support, responsible for managing complex acquisitions critical to the sustainment and modernization of U.S. Navy aviation and weapon systems. She oversees the procurement of specialized aircraft components, avionics, mission-critical electronics, and precision-engineered parts that ensure operational readiness across legacy and next-generation platforms. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain warfighting capability through reliable supply chain solutions, with a focus on technical procurement for systems requiring stringent military specifications and quality assurance protocols. Kirkegard collaborates with a diverse range of industrial contractors, primarily those certified in aerospace and defense manufacturing, including firms specializing in high-reliability circuit board fabrication, precision machine shop services, and avionics integration. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with vendors possessing AS9100 certification, ITAR compliance, and DoD quality management credentials. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense suppliers with proven track records in delivering mission-essential hardware under tight technical and schedule constraints. Kirkegard’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with Navsup WSS’s operational imperatives, where mission-critical performance and technical superiority take precedence over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, she remains compliant with all federal contracting regulations and ensures fair opportunity for all qualified offerors. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with significant activity in bare printed circuit board manufacturing (334412) and precision machining (332710). She routinely procures flight-critical components such as control modules, power distribution units, and embedded navigation systems, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace electronics supply chains and defense industrial base sustainment.
