ALICIA BUTLER

Alicia Butler serves as the primary procurement lead for the Asc Commodities Division within the Department of Defense’s Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, where she oversees the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical and electrical components essential to the sustainment of military aviation platforms. Her role centers on ensuring the uninterrupted availability of high-reliability parts including ball and roller bearings, precision fasteners, and wiring devices that maintain structural integrity and electronic functionality across naval, air, and ground-based aircraft systems. She manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements validation and market research to solicitation, evaluation, and award—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense-specific technical standards. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the procurement record, Butler’s acquisition portfolio consistently engages manufacturers and distributors specializing in defense-grade bearing and mechanical component production. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on technical capability, quality assurance certifications such as AS9100, and supply chain resilience, prioritizing vendors with proven track records in military aerospace environments. Butler’s contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of procurements conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical superiority and supply chain scalability over socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the division’s operational imperatives for mission-critical readiness. Her procurement focus is narrowly concentrated on NAICS 332991—Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing—demonstrating deep expertise in the sourcing of precision-engineered bearings used in turbine assemblies, landing gear, and flight control systems. She works closely with technical engineers to validate performance specifications, ensuring all procured components meet MIL-SPEC and SAE aerospace standards for extreme environmental and operational stress.
