Cindi Hodskins

Cindi Hodskins serves as a contracting professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the acquisition and lifecycle sustainment of naval aviation systems critical to U.S. Navy and Marine Corps air superiority. She manages complex procurement actions for advanced aircraft components, avionics, and auxiliary equipment, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s mission to modernize carrier-based and expeditionary aviation platforms. Her work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from requirements definition and source selection to contract award and performance management—focusing on technical solutions that enhance operational readiness and system interoperability across manned and unmanned aerial platforms. Hodskins maintains longstanding relationships with prime contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with industry leaders in aerospace systems integration, propulsion, and mission systems development. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical innovation, frequently engaging vendors with proven expertise in military-grade avionics, flight control systems, and logistics support infrastructure. She collaborates closely with engineering and logistics teams to ensure contractual deliverables meet stringent naval aviation standards and sustainment requirements. Hodskins’ procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a strategic focus on leveraging the broadest possible industrial base to meet mission-critical performance needs, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, she ensures compliance with all federal acquisition regulations and promotes competition among qualified vendors regardless of size. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in procuring specialized components such as flight control actuators, sensor housings, and mission system interfaces. She also oversees acquisitions under NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) and 541370 (Surveying and Mapping Services), demonstrating technical fluency in both hardware production and geospatial support for aviation operations.
