Kristina Keenan

Kristina Keenan serves as a procurement specialist focused on advanced aerospace and avionics systems, playing a critical role in securing mission-critical components for national defense and aviation infrastructure. She manages complex acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, primarily overseeing sole-source and competitive procurements for specialized aircraft subsystems and navigation instrumentation. Her work ensures timely delivery of high-integrity hardware and software systems that support operational readiness, aligning closely with agency objectives for technical excellence and supply chain resilience. Keenan’s portfolio is dominated by engineering-intensive contracts requiring rigorous compliance with military specifications and certification standards. Her contractor relationships are concentrated within the aerospace manufacturing sector, particularly with firms specializing in precision-engineered aircraft components and integrated avionics. She engages regularly with prime contractors possessing AS9100 certification and deep expertise in DO-160 and MIL-STD compliance, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in technical reliability and performance history. While no single vendor dominates her award stream, she consistently collaborates with a select group of Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers capable of meeting stringent quality and delivery timelines for mission-critical systems. Keenan’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 94.1% of awards issued under non-set-aside conditions, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. Only 5.9% of her awards are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, suggesting she prioritizes performance and system interoperability while still maintaining a measured commitment to small business participation when technical requirements align with small business capacity. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413, encompassing the acquisition of auxiliary aircraft equipment such as actuators, flight control subsystems, and power distribution units. She also manages specialized procurements under NAICS 334511, sourcing advanced avionics, sensor fusion systems, and guidance instrumentation. Her expertise centers on high-reliability, safety-critical systems used in military and commercial aviation platforms, demonstrating deep familiarity with aerospace engineering standards and lifecycle support requirements.
