Marlene M Harley

Marlene M. Harley 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 components, including aircraft subsystems, avionics, and power generation equipment, ensuring operational readiness across legacy and next-generation platforms. Her work directly enables the maintenance, repair, and technological upgrade of naval aircraft and weapon systems, aligning with strategic priorities to enhance supply chain resilience and technical interoperability. Harley typically handles sole-source, competitive, and urgent requirement contracts under FAR Part 13 and Part 15 procedures, often involving high-reliability, defense-qualified components with strict military specifications. Her contractor relationships are centered on Tier 1 aerospace and defense manufacturers with proven expertise in aircraft systems integration and military-grade power electronics. She collaborates with established industry partners capable of meeting stringent MIL-STD and DO-160 certification requirements, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical compliance, quality assurance, and on-time delivery performance. While no specific contractors are identified in current records, her procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with firms holding AS9100 and ITAR registrations, emphasizing supply chain security and traceability. Harley’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability and performance over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing mission-critical outcomes and system interoperability. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, vendors of all sizes must demonstrate proven capability to meet exacting defense standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) and 335312 (Motor and Generator Manufacturing), specializing in flight control systems, turbine-driven power units, and mission-critical electrical subsystems. She possesses deep technical expertise in avionics integration, electromagnetic compatibility, and ruggedized electronics, ensuring all procured items meet naval aviation’s operational and environmental demands.
