Carrie Eddy

Carrie Eddy serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions within a defense- and aerospace-focused organization. She specializes in soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for critical aeronautical systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical operational requirements. Her work directly supports the acquisition of high-integrity components for aviation and defense platforms, including avionics, guidance systems, and power generation equipment. Eddy’s role is central to translating technical specifications into enforceable contract terms, coordinating with engineering and program management teams to align procurement strategy with operational needs. Eddy maintains a vendor-agnostic approach, engaging with a diverse pool of manufacturers and suppliers across the aerospace and defense industrial base. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she routinely collaborates with both large prime contractors and specialized niche suppliers capable of meeting stringent performance, quality, and certification standards. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions under FAR Part 15, emphasizing technical merit and past performance over price alone. Eddy’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with mission requirements that prioritize technical capability and supply chain reliability over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains compliant with all applicable small business regulations and ensures fair opportunity for all qualified vendors. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with significant activity in NAICS 334511 (Aeronautical System and Instrument Manufacturing) and NAICS 335312 (Motor and Generator Manufacturing). She specializes in acquiring flight-critical components such as sensors, control systems, and power conversion units, demonstrating deep technical fluency in aerospace systems integration and electromagnetic compatibility standards.
