Erin E. Donnelly

Erin Donnelly serves as a key procurement professional within NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval aviation and weapon systems. She manages the acquisition of mission-critical components for aircraft systems, avionics, power generation, and electronic warfare equipment, ensuring operational readiness across legacy and next-generation platforms. Her work directly enables the maintenance, repair, and upgrade of naval aircraft and associated subsystems, with a focus on rapid response to fleet requirements and supply chain resilience. Donnelly handles complex, technically demanding contracts requiring rigorous engineering oversight and compliance with defense acquisition regulations. She maintains strategic relationships with leading defense contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Thales Defense & Security Inc., AMD International Technologies LLC, Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation, and Mission Systems Wimborne Limited. These partnerships are centered on the procurement of high-reliability aerospace components, mission systems, and specialized auxiliary equipment. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical alignment, and performance-based acquisition strategies to ensure interoperability and sustainment of naval platforms. Donnelly’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects the highly specialized nature of the systems procured, where technical expertise and certified manufacturing capabilities often necessitate selection from a limited pool of qualified industrial partners with DoD-specific clearances and quality certifications. Her primary focus lies within NAICS 336413 for other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing and NAICS 334511 for aeronautical system and instrument manufacturing. She procures precision-engineered components such as flight control actuators, radar subsystems, power distribution units, and mission-critical electronics, requiring deep domain expertise in aerospace systems integration, MIL-STD compliance, and lifecycle sustainment engineering.
