Eugene K. Marstaller

Eugene K. Marstaller serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle of critical naval aviation systems. His role centers on executing full-spectrum contracting actions for aircraft platforms, avionics, and supporting logistics infrastructure, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s mission to maintain air superiority through lifecycle sustainment and modernization. He routinely handles complex, high-technology procurements under FAR and DFARS frameworks, including cost-reimbursement, fixed-price, and performance-based service contracts for both new development and sustainment efforts across carrier-based and expeditionary aviation systems. Marstaller maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading defense prime contractors, including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with organizations that deliver advanced rotary-wing and fixed-wing platforms, unmanned aerial systems, and mission-critical avionics. His contracting approach emphasizes performance outcomes, technical rigor, and long-term sustainment partnerships, fostering collaborative relationships with industry leaders capable of supporting integrated fleet readiness and rapid technological integration. His procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on capability-driven sourcing rather than socioeconomic targeting. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his contracts often include subcontracting opportunities that enable small business participation through prime contractor obligations. Marstaller’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with significant activity in engineering services under 541330. He specializes in acquiring advanced flight systems, propulsion components, sensor suites, and maintenance support services, demonstrating deep technical expertise in naval aviation platforms, unmanned systems, and integrated weapon-enabling technologies.
