Jeanne M Birrane

Jeanne M. Birrane serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of naval aviation systems critical to U.S. Navy and Marine Corps operational readiness. She manages complex contracting actions for technical services and logistics support related to carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft, avionics, and mission-critical air transportation infrastructure. Her work directly enables NAVAIR’s mission to maintain air superiority through the integrated development, testing, and fielding of advanced aviation platforms and supporting systems. Birrane typically handles performance-based service contracts, engineering support, and maintenance logistics acquisitions aligned with fleet modernization and sustainment priorities. She maintains consistent, long-term relationships with leading defense aerospace prime contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, engaging them on high-visibility programs involving rotary-wing platforms, unmanned aerial systems, and integrated weapons solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance outcomes, technical compliance, and lifecycle cost efficiency, fostering collaborative partnerships with industry to ensure mission-critical readiness. She also works with specialized logistics and training providers such as Global Air Logistics and Training, Inc., to deliver integrated support services that sustain operational tempo. Birrane’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting the scale, technical complexity, and national security sensitivity of the acquisitions she manages. While she does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her contracting decisions prioritize mission need, technical capability, and industrial base stability over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with NAVAIR’s strategic focus on mission-critical capability delivery. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 481219 (Other Nonscheduled Air Transportation) and 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), underscoring her expertise in air mobility, maintenance, and operational support services. She also frequently procures engineering services (NAICS 541330) and professional technical services (NAICS 541990), demonstrating deep familiarity with aviation systems integration, flight operations support, and mission systems sustainment across naval aviation domains.
