She manages complex acquisitions for advanced engineering, shipboard integration, and mission-critical infrastructure, including propulsion, damage control, and industrial control systems. Her work directly enables the development and lifecycle support of naval platforms, ensuring operational readiness through technically rigorous contracting approaches. She typically handles high-stakes, performance-based contracts requiring deep technical oversight and systems engineering coordination. Shuman maintains longstanding relationships with leading defense and industrial contractors including Fairbanks Morse, LLC, Leidos, Inc., Rolls-Royce Corporation, G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Kampi Components Co Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized engineering services, fluid power systems, and integrated shipboard solutions. Her contracting patterns emphasize collaboration with established prime contractors possessing proven expertise in naval environments, often leveraging long-termIDIQs and basic ordering agreements to streamline acquisition timelines while maintaining technical accountability. Her procurement portfolio shows a strong preference for open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. The remaining 25% are equally split between 8(a) competed and SBA Certified Economically Disadvantaged Woman-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) set-asides, demonstrating a deliberate, balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs without compromising technical capability or schedule integrity. Shuman’s primary NAICS focus areas include Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (541715) and Engineering Services (541330), reflecting her emphasis on systems engineering, prototype development, and technical integration. She also procures specialized components under Fluid Power Pump and Motor Manufacturing (333996) and supports facility and business operations through Nonresidential Building Leasing (531120) and Business Support Services (561499). Her expertise lies at the intersection of naval engineering and acquisition execution, ensuring that critical shipboard technologies are delivered with precision and compliance.
