Kirsten R Regan

Kirsten R. Regan 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 complex acquisitions for mission-critical aerospace and avionics components, ensuring operational readiness across legacy and next-generation platforms. Her work centers on the procurement of specialized equipment including navigation systems, flight control instrumentation, power generation units, and auxiliary aircraft subsystems, often under time-sensitive operational timelines. Regan plays a vital role in aligning contracting strategies with the Navy’s force modernization priorities and supply chain resilience goals. Regan maintains collaborative relationships with a broad base of defense contractors specializing in aerospace systems integration, precision electronics manufacturing, and mission-critical component supply. She engages with tier-one defense primes and niche suppliers capable of meeting stringent military specifications such as MIL-STD-810 and DO-160. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, quality assurance, and lifecycle support, fostering long-term vendor partnerships built on reliability and performance accountability. Regan’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as non-set-aside. While she does not routinely utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach prioritizes technical capability and mission need over socioeconomic categorization, ensuring that critical systems are sourced from the most qualified suppliers regardless of business size or certification status. Her primary focus lies within NAICS 334511 for aeronautical navigation and guidance systems and NAICS 336413 for aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment. She routinely procures radar modules, inertial measurement units, flight control computers, and power conditioning systems essential to naval aircraft survivability and mission effectiveness. Regan’s expertise spans the full lifecycle of electronic warfare and avionics components, demonstrating deep technical fluency in defense aerospace procurement standards and regulatory compliance.
