Alesia Hayes

Alesia E. Hayes serves as an Acquisition Specialist responsible for managing complex procurement actions across aerospace and precision manufacturing domains. She plays a critical role in executing full lifecycle contracting activities—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned sourcing strategies. Her portfolio primarily supports defense and aviation infrastructure requirements, with a focus on technical components critical to aircraft systems and industrial supply chains. Hayes routinely handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15, emphasizing value, risk mitigation, and timely delivery of mission-critical parts. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Hayes maintains a broad network of manufacturers and suppliers specializing in high-precision metal fabrication and aerospace subsystems. Her contracting patterns reflect engagement with both large-tier suppliers and small businesses capable of meeting stringent technical specifications for aircraft components, fasteners, and specialized wiring systems. She prioritizes performance-based outcomes and supplier capability over cost alone, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in quality assurance and regulatory compliance. Hayes demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 87.5% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting a focus on broad market access and technical capability. However, she consistently allocates 12.5% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, actively supporting small manufacturers with proven expertise in fabricated metal products and aviation parts. This balance underscores her commitment to both efficiency and socioeconomic objectives, without favoring specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a) or HUBZone. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), where she sources flight-critical components, followed by specialized metal fabrication (332999) and fastener manufacturing (332722). She possesses deep technical familiarity with aerospace-grade materials, certification standards, and supply chain resilience, making her a key liaison between engineering requirements and industrial production capabilities.
