Crawley serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk (NAVSUP FLC Norfolk), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain operational readiness through strategic acquisition of engineering, logistics, and maintenance services. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts critical to fleet sustainment, including technical support, infrastructure maintenance, and mission-critical communications systems. Her work ensures that naval platforms remain mission-ready through timely, compliant, and efficient contracting actions aligned with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines. Crawley maintains established relationships with a range of prime contractors, including Obsidian Global, LLC, Deloitte & Touche LLP, Advania Island Ehf., Complete Parachute Solutions, Inc., and Computational Physics Inc. These partnerships reflect a mix of large, nationally recognized firms and specialized technical vendors capable of delivering complex logistics, engineering, and systems support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, leveraging long-standing vendor relationships to ensure continuity and technical reliability across mission-critical programs. Her procurement patterns show a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately one-third of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, she consistently facilitates opportunities for qualified small businesses in technical and support services domains.

Her expertise lies in procuring mission-enabling services that bridge civil engineering, logistics infrastructure, and technical support—ensuring the Navy’s shore-based capabilities remain robust and resilient.
