Gary Heagy

Gary Heagy serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding Officer (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical aerospace components, electronic warfare systems, and advanced communications infrastructure essential to naval aviation readiness. His role centers on sustaining and modernizing carrier-based and land-based aircraft platforms through strategic contracting of high-integrity electronic assemblies, sensor suites, and cybersecurity-hardened data links. Heagy manages full lifecycle procurements—from requirements definition through contract award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with Navy aviation modernization priorities and defense acquisition regulations. Heagy maintains longstanding partnerships with prime contractors including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and Lockheed Martin Corporation, engaging them for complex systems integration, avionics modernization, and classified electronic warfare upgrades. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense industrial base partners with proven track records in delivering hardened, mission-critical technologies under stringent Navy specifications. These relationships are characterized by long-term contract vehicles and performance-based acquisition strategies, emphasizing technical excellence, supply chain resilience, and rapid fielding of capability enhancements. Heagy’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate focus on accessing the broadest possible pool of technical expertise and industrial capacity, prioritizing capability over socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, his office ensures compliance with all applicable small business subcontracting requirements under prime contracts. His primary procurement focus is NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), which, in this context, encompasses the integration of aerospace and electronic systems onto naval platforms. Heagy specializes in procuring flight-critical avionics, electronic countermeasure assemblies, secure RF communications hardware, and embedded systems that support naval air operations, demonstrating deep technical fluency in military aerospace engineering and systems integration.
