Georgia H. Shirey serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in advanced manufacturing and defense-related engineering sectors. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions, from requirement development through award and administration, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical delivery timelines. Her portfolio centers on high-precision mechanical and electromechanical systems, aligning with national defense and industrial capability priorities. Shirey’s work supports the acquisition of specialized equipment critical to national security infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on technical rigor and supply chain resilience. Shirey maintains relationships with a diverse base of industrial contractors specializing in engine components, motor vehicle subsystems, and ordnance accessories. While no single vendor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently engages manufacturers with proven expertise in precision machining, electronic integration, and defense-certified production processes. Her contracting approach prioritizes technical capability over volume, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of meeting stringent performance and quality standards under FAR Part 12 and Part 36 frameworks. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 89.1% of actions conducted without set-asides. Nevertheless, she actively supports small business participation, dedicating 10.6% of her acquisitions to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and a minimal but intentional 0.2% to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This balanced approach ensures broad market access while maintaining competitive integrity and mission readiness. Shirey’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing), where she acquires advanced propulsion components and auxiliary power systems. Secondary emphasis is placed on NAICS 336390 (Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing) and 336320 (Motor Vehicle Electrical and Electronic Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting her domain expertise in integrated mechanical-electrical systems. She also manages targeted procurements under NAICS 332994 for ordnance accessories, demonstrating specialized knowledge in defense-related manufacturing standards and compliance protocols.
