Corrine Maples

Corrine Maples serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center, supporting the agency’s mission to advance naval aviation systems through research, development, testing, and evaluation of mission-critical technologies. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on aerospace and defense systems, including avionics, sensor integration, command and control platforms, and mission simulation infrastructure. Her work ensures the timely delivery of technically complex solutions that enhance airborne warfare capabilities, aligning procurement activities with strategic DoD modernization priorities. Maples operates within a high-stakes technical environment where contract performance directly impacts operational readiness and system reliability. Maples maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense and engineering contractors, including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., SAIC, Teya Support Services LLC, and Kranze Technology Solutions Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industry primes with proven expertise in aerospace systems integration, software development, and technical support services. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, long-term sustainment, and systems engineering support, often involving complex solicitation structures such as Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) and Other Transaction Authority (OTA) mechanisms to accelerate innovation. Set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly dominated by unrestricted acquisitions, with 91.7% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the specialized, high-technical nature of the requirements. Only 8.3% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides, indicating a selective but intentional approach to small business participation, typically reserved for niche capabilities not readily available from large primes. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 334511 for airborne and maritime sensor and navigation systems, 332311 for prefabricated metal components used in aircraft infrastructure, and 337214 for specialized non-wood office equipment supporting mission operations. These reflect a blend of advanced electronics manufacturing, ruggedized hardware, and mission-enabling support systems critical to naval aviation readiness.
