Cheryl L. Irizarry

Cheryl L. Irizarry serves as a Program Manager responsible for overseeing the acquisition and lifecycle management of specialized aircraft components and auxiliary equipment. In this role, she ensures that procurement activities align with operational readiness requirements and technical specifications for defense and aerospace systems. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation strategies, evaluating technical proposals, and managing contract performance to support mission-critical aviation platforms. She plays a pivotal role in translating program needs into clear, compliant acquisition documents that drive timely delivery of high-integrity components. Cheryl works directly with a network of manufacturers and suppliers specializing in precision-engineered aerospace parts, including firms with expertise in avionics integration, flight control systems, and non-structural airframe components. While no specific contractor relationships are identified in current data, her procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers possessing AS9100 certification and robust quality management systems. Her working relationships emphasize technical compliance, supply chain resilience, and performance-based contract language to ensure mission success. Cheryl’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic classifications, prioritizing performance, reliability, and certification compliance in vendor selection. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, her approach remains compliant with all federal acquisition regulations and supports fair and open competition. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—where she procures mission-critical components such as actuation systems, hydraulic subsystems, and non-propulsive flight control hardware. She possesses deep technical expertise in aerospace manufacturing standards, material specifications, and certification protocols, ensuring all acquired items meet stringent airworthiness and safety requirements.
