Alicia K. Taylor

Alicia K. Taylor serves as a key procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in advanced aerospace and industrial manufacturing sectors. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions, from requirements definition through award and administration, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical performance standards. Her work directly supports the development and sustainment of specialized aviation and industrial systems, with a focus on high-reliability components used in defense and aerospace applications. Taylor’s acquisitions are characterized by technical rigor, stringent quality controls, and alignment with national security objectives. Her contractor relationships are primarily with established manufacturers specializing in precision-engineered components for aviation systems. She regularly engages with firms possessing AS9100 and ISO 9001 certifications, particularly those capable of producing mission-critical parts under controlled environmental and quality assurance protocols. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her pattern of engagement favors established Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers with proven track records in aerospace manufacturing, often requiring long-term supply chain stability and technical collaboration. Taylor’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This indicates a focus on technical capability and production capacity over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with mission needs that require specialized manufacturing expertise not commonly found among small business concerns in her primary NAICS domains. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336413, encompassing the procurement of proprietary aircraft subsystems, auxiliary equipment, and non-airframe components critical to flight systems. She also routinely acquires motor and generator assemblies, industrial valves, and precision hardware used in avionics and propulsion environments. This specialization demonstrates deep domain expertise in aerospace systems integration, with an emphasis on reliability, performance under extreme conditions, and compliance with military and FAA technical standards.
