Christina Shorkey

Christina Shorkey serves as a key procurement lead within the W7NR Uspfo Activity Nyang 109, a specialized unit of the Department of the Army focused on sustaining expeditionary airfield operations and mission-critical infrastructure. She manages the acquisition lifecycle for construction, maintenance, and specialized equipment contracts essential to aviation readiness at remote and forward-deployed locations. Her portfolio includes high-priority procurements for airfield support systems, facility modernization, and logistical infrastructure, ensuring operational resilience in austere environments. Shorkey’s work directly supports the agency’s strategic imperative to maintain deployable airpower capabilities through timely, compliant, and mission-tailored contracting. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Shorkey consistently engages with a broad network of small business vendors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for collaborative, performance-based partnerships with firms capable of delivering specialized goods and services under tight operational timelines. She fosters relationships with contractors who demonstrate technical proficiency in military-grade construction, aviation support systems, and rapid-deployment infrastructure solutions. Shorkey exhibits a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with 85% of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and a notable 2.5% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Her contracting strategy prioritizes socioeconomic inclusion, aligning with Department of Defense mandates to maximize opportunities for disadvantaged and veteran-owned firms. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to build a resilient, diverse supplier base capable of meeting the unique demands of expeditionary military operations. Her primary NAICS focus includes commercial and institutional building construction, textile bag and canvas manufacturing, apparel accessories production, lawn and garden equipment manufacturing, and siding contracting. These categories reflect the agency’s need for durable, field-deployable infrastructure components, protective gear, and maintenance equipment tailored to austere airfield conditions. Shorkey’s expertise lies in bridging civilian manufacturing capabilities with military operational requirements, ensuring procurement aligns with both technical specifications and strategic readiness goals.
