Tricia L Murray

Tricia Murray serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding Officer’s office (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval aviation and electronic warfare systems. She oversees the procurement of mission-critical aerospace components, advanced electronic assemblies, sensor technologies, and cybersecurity-enabled communications infrastructure, ensuring operational readiness across naval platforms. Her work directly supports the Navy’s strategic imperatives in maintaining air superiority and electronic dominance through timely, compliant, and technically rigorous contracting actions. Murray maintains strong, ongoing relationships with major defense contractors including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and Lockheed Martin Corporation, partnering with them on complex, high-precision engineering and integration efforts. These collaborations typically involve long-term support contracts for sustainment, upgrades, and rapid prototyping of avionics and EW systems. While she works primarily with large industry primes, her contracting approach incorporates tiered supplier networks to ensure component-level innovation and supply chain resilience. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 65.8% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she consistently prioritizes small business participation, allocating 31.6% of awards to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with an additional 1.3% each directed to 8(a) and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This balanced approach ensures competitive innovation while meeting statutory socioeconomic objectives. Murray’s primary NAICS focus areas include commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance (811310), construction and mining equipment leasing (532412), and educational support services (611710), reflecting her role in procuring not only hardware but also specialized maintenance, training, and logistics support infrastructure. Her technical domain expertise spans aerospace sustainment, electronic system integration, and mission-critical equipment lifecycle management, making her a pivotal figure in Navy aviation readiness.
