Lynn Fitzgerald

Lynn Fitzgerald serves as a key procurement lead within U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), supporting the agency’s global mobility mission through the acquisition of deep-sea freight transportation services critical to Department of Defense expeditionary logistics. Responsible for managing complex contract vehicles that enable the movement of military personnel, equipment, and sustainment cargo across international maritime corridors, Fitzgerald ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while prioritizing operational readiness and port throughput efficiency. Her acquisitions are strategically aligned with USTransCom’s mandate to maintain seamless, end-to-end global transport capabilities under dynamic operational conditions. Fitzgerald maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized maritime and logistics contractors, including UNCOMN LLC, PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, FANCIULLI EGISTO S.R.L., and MOUNTAIN AVIATION, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on vendors with proven expertise in deep-sea vessel operations, port terminal support, and expeditionary cargo handling. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term contract stability, and vendor reliability under high-tempo deployment scenarios, fostering trusted, mission-critical supplier networks. Fitzgerald’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing global vendor capacity and operational flexibility rather than socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, the nature of the deep-sea freight market inherently limits the pool of qualified contractors, resulting in a focus on capability-driven selection over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary industry focus is exclusively on NAICS 483111 — Deep Sea Freight Transportation — encompassing the procurement of ocean-going vessel charter services, intermodal cargo loading/unloading, and port terminal operations essential to strategic sealift. She specializes in contracting for heavy-lift, roll-on/roll-off, and containerized cargo transport systems used in theater access and sustainment operations, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with maritime logistics standards, Defense Transportation Regulation compliance, and global port infrastructure requirements.
