Shauna Fitzgerald

Shauna Fitzgerald serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of critical naval aviation systems. She manages complex contracting actions for aircraft platforms, propulsion systems, avionics, and mission-critical logistics infrastructure, ensuring alignment with the Navy and Marine Corps’ operational readiness goals. Her work directly supports NAVAIR’s mission to maintain air superiority through integrated, next-generation aviation capabilities, with a focus on technical rigor, program stability, and timely delivery of high-priority systems. She handles full-spectrum contract types, including cost-reimbursement, fixed-price incentive, and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity instruments, primarily for defense aerospace and digital infrastructure solutions. Fitzgerald maintains consistent, high-volume relationships with leading defense prime contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, reflecting her focus on major platform integration and advanced weapons systems. She collaborates closely with these industry partners on engineering development, test and evaluation, and sustainment contracts, often coordinating across multiple program offices to ensure interoperability and compliance with naval aviation standards. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and long-term system reliability over short-term cost savings. Her contracting portfolio shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with NAVAIR’s priority to leverage the broadest industrial base for mission-critical systems requiring advanced technical expertise and scale, rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. Fitzgerald’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), and 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), with additional emphasis on 511210 (Software Publishers) and 518210 (Data Processing Services). She procures high-integrity flight control systems, mission computers, propulsion components, and secure computing infrastructure essential to carrier-based and expeditionary aviation platforms, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with defense aerospace systems engineering and digital modernization initiatives.
