Christine F Marshall

Christine F. Marshall serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), where she plays a critical role in executing the acquisition lifecycle for advanced naval aviation systems. She manages complex procurements spanning aircraft platforms, guided missile systems, and mission-critical avionics, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s mission to maintain air superiority through lifecycle sustainment and modernization. Her work encompasses full-spectrum contracting activities—from requirements definition and source selection to contract award and administration—primarily supporting defense programs for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. She operates within a high-stakes, technically demanding environment where precision, compliance, and timely delivery are essential to operational readiness. Marshall maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading defense prime contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, who deliver sophisticated aerospace and weapons systems. Her contracting approach reflects a preference for established industry partners with proven technical capabilities in naval aviation, missile systems, and integrated logistics support. These partnerships are typically structured through competitive sealed bidding or negotiated contracts under FAR Part 15, emphasizing technical merit, past performance, and risk mitigation in high-complexity acquisitions. Her contracting portfolio reflects a near-exclusive focus on open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside categories. This indicates a strategic alignment with NAVAIR’s requirement for large-scale, technologically advanced solutions that often exceed small business capacity, resulting in minimal utilization of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. While socioeconomic preferences are not a primary driver, her work supports broader DoD goals through robust subcontracting oversight and supplier diversity within prime contractor teams. Marshall’s primary NAICS focus is on guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing (336414), with significant activity in ammunition manufacturing (332993) and aircraft parts production (336413). She specializes in procuring precision-guided munitions, airborne weapon systems, missile launchers, and specialized avionics components, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with defense aerospace engineering standards and DoD acquisition regulations.
