Eileen Keating Carnaggio

Eileen Keating Carnaggio serves as a Contract Specialist for the Commanding Officer (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, where she plays a critical role in executing procurements that sustain and modernize naval aviation and electronic warfare systems. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions for aerospace components, mission-critical communications infrastructure, and advanced engineering services essential to maintaining operational readiness. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract strategies with the Navy’s strategic priorities in sensor technology, electronic assembly, and cybersecurity-enabled systems. Carnaggio maintains established working relationships with key industry partners, including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and Lockheed Martin Corporation, which provide high-assurance aerospace and defense systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical rigor, fostering long-term partnerships with prime contractors capable of delivering mission-critical capabilities under stringent military specifications. She also engages with a diverse pool of smaller vendors to support niche technical requirements and rapid prototyping needs. Her procurement portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately 30.8% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 15.4% awarded through 8(a) competed contracts. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, she consistently prioritizes small business participation to enhance innovation and supply chain resilience within the defense industrial base. Despite the agency’s focus on aerospace and electronic warfare, her most frequent NAICS classifications include Food Service Contractors, Industrial Launderers, and Other Support Activities for Air Transportation—indicating a significant operational support component to sustain naval aviation readiness. These categories reflect her expertise in managing non-core but mission-enabling services that ensure base functionality, logistics continuity, and crew readiness, complementing the Navy’s broader technical modernization objectives.
