Carrie P. Egland

Carrie P. Egland serves as a procurement specialist focused on aerospace and aviation systems, managing complex acquisitions within the defense and aerospace sector. Her role centers on executing competitive contracting actions for critical aircraft components and propulsion systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical performance standards. She plays a pivotal part in the agency’s efforts to secure advanced aviation technology, overseeing solicitations from initial requirement development through contract award and administration. Her acquisitions typically involve high-precision manufacturing and engineering services essential to national defense and aviation readiness. Egland collaborates with a diverse base of aerospace manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers specializing in aircraft subsystems, engine components, and auxiliary equipment. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing AS9100 certification and relevant ITAR compliance credentials. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industrial base partners with proven track records in quality control and just-in-time delivery, alongside emerging small businesses capable of meeting stringent technical specifications. Her procurement strategy prioritizes broad market access, with approximately two-thirds of actions conducted as unrestricted competitions. However, she demonstrates strong support for small business participation, allocating nearly a third of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and nearly one-tenth specifically to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. This balanced approach ensures competitive innovation while fulfilling statutory socioeconomic goals. Egland’s technical focus is concentrated in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in propulsion systems, flight control components, and avionics integration. She routinely procures custom-engineered parts requiring metallurgical precision, non-destructive testing, and FAA or DoD certification, positioning her at the intersection of advanced manufacturing and national security aerospace requirements.
