Carrie N Ulery

Carrie N. Ulery serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding Officer’s office (N63394) of the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing high-priority acquisitions in support of naval aviation and electronic warfare modernization. She oversees the procurement of mission-critical aerospace components, advanced electronic assemblies, and cybersecurity-enabled communications systems essential to sustaining operational readiness. Her role centers on ensuring timely delivery of technically complex hardware and engineering services that directly support fleet-wide aircraft systems and sensor platforms, aligning with the Navy’s strategic imperative to maintain technological superiority in contested domains. Ulery maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense aerospace primes, most notably Lockheed Martin Corporation and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, which serve as primary vendors for integrated avionics, electronic warfare suites, and mission-critical computing hardware. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven track records in delivering high-assurance, MIL-STD-compliant systems, indicating a focus on reliability, traceability, and supply chain resilience over competitive bidding for low-value items. These partnerships are characterized by long-term technical alignment and iterative contract performance management. Ulery’s acquisition portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of contracts awarded under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate prioritization of technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with the critical nature of the systems being procured. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, her office maintains compliance with all federal reporting requirements and may include small business subcontractors within prime contractor teams. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively within NAICS 334111 — Electronic Computer Manufacturing — encompassing the acquisition of ruggedized computing platforms, embedded systems, signal processing hardware, and secure data link modules. This specialization underscores deep technical expertise in defense electronics, with an emphasis on components that support real-time sensor fusion, electronic attack/defense, and secure tactical communications infrastructure.
