Corrine Maples

Corrine Maples serves as a key procurement lead within the Naval Air Warfare Center, supporting the acquisition of mission-critical technologies that advance naval aviation systems. Responsible for managing complex contracting actions across research, development, and evaluation programs, she ensures alignment with the agency’s strategic priorities in airborne command and control, avionics modernization, and mission simulation systems. Her portfolio encompasses a broad range of technical services and support functions essential to sustaining and enhancing the Navy’s air warfare capabilities, with a focus on engineering, systems integration, and operational readiness support. Maples maintains established relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., and Science Applications International Corporation, leveraging their deep technical expertise in avionics, software development, and systems engineering. She also collaborates regularly with specialized support firms such as Teya Support Services LLC and Kranze Technology Solutions Inc., fostering partnerships that deliver agile, mission-tailored solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure technical continuity across multi-year programs. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, Maples consistently prioritizes HUBZone-certified small businesses, allocating approximately 25% of her contract opportunities to this socioeconomic category. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering regional economic development and tapping into niche capabilities offered by qualified small firms in underserved areas. Her procurement focus centers on four primary NAICS categories: Engineering Services (541330), Business Support Services (561499), Telephone Answering Services (561421), and Moving Services (484210). These reflect a blend of high-technical engineering support and essential administrative logistics functions critical to sustaining complex defense operations, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of both operational and enabling service requirements within the naval aviation ecosystem.
