Cindi Hodskins

Cindi Hodskins serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the lifecycle management of naval aviation systems through technical and logistics acquisitions. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s mission to modernize carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft fleets by managing contracts for specialized surveying, mapping, and geospatial services essential to mission planning, system integration, and sustainment operations. Her work directly enables the Navy and Marine Corps to maintain air superiority through precise data collection and analysis that informs aircraft deployment, weapons testing, and infrastructure planning. Hodskins maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense aerospace contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with firms that deliver advanced avionics, unmanned systems, and mission-critical support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration with industry leaders capable of meeting stringent military specifications and rapid turnaround requirements for classified and expeditionary environments. These partnerships are built on technical reliability, compliance with DoD acquisition regulations, and proven performance in high-stakes aviation environments. Her contracting activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside profile, indicating a focus on full and open competition for complex technical services requiring specialized expertise and large-scale operational capacity. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, this reflects the nature of the high-precision geospatial services she procures, which often demand advanced capabilities only available through established industry incumbents with proven defense credentials. Hodskins’ primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541370—Surveying and Mapping (except Geophysical) Services—encompassing airborne LiDAR, photogrammetry, terrain modeling, and digital mapping for naval aviation platforms. Her domain expertise lies in acquiring geospatial data systems that support flight path optimization, carrier deck operations, and weapons targeting, ensuring operational readiness across the Navy’s evolving aviation fleet.
