Carrie Yearian

Carrie Yearian serves as a key procurement lead for the Commanding Officer (N63394) within the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing strategic acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval aviation and electronic warfare systems. Her portfolio centers on mission-critical engineering services, advanced communications infrastructure, and aerospace component integration, ensuring operational readiness and technological superiority across fleet platforms. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements definition to award and performance oversight—focusing on high-complexity, low-volume procurements that support classified and sensitive defense programs. Her work directly enables the Navy’s priority to enhance sensor fidelity, electronic attack capabilities, and cybersecurity-hardened data networks. Yearian maintains consistent partnerships with leading defense prime contractors, including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC and Lockheed Martin Corporation, who provide specialized engineering, systems integration, and mission-critical avionics solutions. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven track records in secure aerospace and electronic warfare domains, though she actively engages a broader vendor base to ensure competitive responsiveness. Relationships are characterized by long-term performance reliability, technical compliance with military specifications, and adherence to strict supply chain integrity standards. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-aside designations, while maintaining a significant 25% commitment to 8(a) competed contracts. This balanced approach ensures access to innovative small business capabilities while upholding mission-critical performance requirements. She actively leverages the 8(a) program to foster growth among qualified disadvantaged businesses delivering professional and technical services aligned with naval aviation needs. Yearian’s primary NAICS focus lies in professional and scientific consulting services, particularly administrative management (541611), technical consulting (541690), and specialized technical services (541990), with notable activity in advertising agencies (541810) for mission outreach and internal communications. Her expertise spans systems engineering support, program management advisory, and cybersecurity-enabled service delivery, reflecting a deep understanding of defense acquisition frameworks and the technical demands of modern naval aviation.
