Stacie Prinkey 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 specializes in managing complex contracts for aircraft components and auxiliary equipment, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s mission to maintain air superiority through advanced technological integration. Her work directly supports the modernization of carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft fleets, focusing on procurement processes that uphold rigorous technical standards and operational readiness. Prinkey handles full-spectrum acquisitions—from initial requirements validation through contract award and performance oversight—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense logistics frameworks. She maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense aerospace prime contractors, including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics. These partnerships center on the procurement of high-performance avionics, propulsion subsystems, and mission-critical support equipment. Prinkey’s contracting approach emphasizes long-term sustainment contracts and performance-based logistics, fostering collaborative relationships with industry partners to ensure system availability and readiness across operational environments. Prinkey’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a focus on technical capability and mission necessity over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing the most qualified vendors capable of meeting stringent military performance standards. While small business participation is not formally structured in her award patterns, her adherence to competitive acquisition practices ensures a level playing field for all qualified offerors. Her primary technical focus lies within NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—where she procures specialized components such as flight control systems, sensor integration modules, and maintenance support hardware. This specialization underscores her deep expertise in naval aviation systems engineering, requiring precise technical evaluation and risk mitigation to support mission-critical airborne platforms.
