Shauna C. McLarney

Shauna McLarney serves as a Contract Specialist at the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) within the U.S. Coast Guard, where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical aviation sustainment solutions. She manages the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions for aircraft parts, avionics, and support services essential to maintaining the Coast Guard’s rotary- and fixed-wing fleets, including legacy platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry. Her portfolio emphasizes technical procurement under FAR Part 15, with a focus on performance-based contracts, sole-source justifications, and long-term sustainment agreements that ensure operational readiness and fleet modernization. McLarney maintains consistent working relationships with key defense and aerospace contractors, including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC. These partnerships center on the procurement of avionics upgrades, maintenance support packages, and integrated logistics services for aging aircraft systems. She frequently engages with prime contractors capable of delivering certified aviation components and technical data packages, often coordinating with engineering and maintenance teams to align contractual requirements with operational needs. While the majority of her acquisitions—nearly 90%—are conducted without set-asides, McLarney maintains a measurable commitment to small business participation, with approximately 10% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively evaluates small business capabilities in niche aviation support sectors and encourages subcontracting opportunities with qualified vendors to foster industry resilience. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with significant activity in 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing) and 334511 (Aeronautical System and Instrument Manufacturing). She specializes in sourcing certified aviation components, maintenance repair organization (MRO) services, and mission-critical avionics, demonstrating deep technical fluency in aerospace sustainment and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-compliant supply chain practices.
