Caitlin C. Donahue

Caitlin C. Donahue serves as a primary procurement lead within Navsup Weapon Systems Support, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain the readiness of U.S. Navy aviation and weapon systems. She oversees the procurement of mission-critical components including avionics, flight control systems, power generation modules, and specialized electronic instrumentation essential to naval aircraft and combat systems. Her role is central to ensuring timely delivery of high-reliability hardware and support services that maintain operational capability across legacy and next-generation platforms, aligning directly with NAVSUP WSS’s mission of lifecycle sustainment and modernization. Donahue maintains established working relationships with key defense contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Thales Defense & Security Inc., AMD International Technologies LLC, Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation, and Mission Systems Wimborne Limited. These partnerships reflect a focus on tier-one aerospace and defense primes with proven expertise in military-grade electronics, flight systems, and mission-critical instrumentation. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based requirements, and long-term sustainment support, often involving complex engineering integration and logistics coordination. Her procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing specialized technical capabilities only available through large, experienced defense contractors with the infrastructure to meet stringent military specifications and rapid response demands. There is no current use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides in her acquisition stream. Donahue’s primary NAICS focus areas include 336413 for other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, 334220 for radio and wireless communications systems, and 334511 for airborne navigation and guidance systems. She consistently procures high-integrity electronic assemblies, printed circuit board assemblies, radar components, and mission systems hardware requiring MIL-STD compliance, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace electronics and weapon system sustainment domains.
