Alysha Purvis

Alysha Purvis supports the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) of the U.S. Coast Guard in managing critical procurement activities essential to sustaining the service’s rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft fleet. She plays a pivotal role in acquiring mission-critical aviation components, maintenance support services, and avionics sustainment solutions that ensure operational readiness of platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry. Her acquisitions primarily focus on parts manufacturing, technical support, and engineering services aligned with the lifecycle management of legacy and modernized aircraft systems, ensuring compliance with defense logistics standards and federal acquisition regulations. Purvis maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC, among others. These partnerships are characterized by long-term sustainment contracts for spare parts, avionics upgrades, and integrated logistics support. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical compatibility, and supply chain resilience, often leveraging blanket purchase agreements and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles to meet dynamic operational demands. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 98% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. While small business participation is limited to approximately 2%, it is strategically directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a measured but intentional effort to engage qualified small vendors without compromising mission-critical performance or supply chain continuity. Purvis’s procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in sourcing specialized components for aging aircraft systems. She also routinely procures support activities for air transportation (NAICS 488190) and engineering services (NAICS 541330), demonstrating technical proficiency in avionics integration, maintenance logistics, and systems sustainment within the military aviation domain.
