Alyson Harrison

Alyson Harrison supports the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) of the U.S. Coast Guard in managing critical procurement activities essential to sustaining the agency’s rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft fleets. Her work centers on acquiring mission-critical aviation components, avionics systems, and maintenance support services that ensure operational readiness across legacy platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry. She plays a pivotal role in executing acquisition strategies aligned with the ALC’s mission to extend service life, enhance reliability, and modernize airworthiness standards through timely and technically sound contracting actions. Her portfolio primarily involves complex, long-term sustainment contracts requiring deep technical oversight and lifecycle logistics planning. Harrison maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading aerospace and defense contractors, including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and AVIATRIX INC, all of which provide specialized aviation parts, maintenance support, and integrated logistics solutions. She also collaborates with GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC, and Quality Biological, Inc., reflecting a diverse vendor base that supports both technical and ancillary operational needs. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and supplier reliability, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in quality assurance and mission-critical delivery requirements. Her procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 95.5% of awards issued without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation is limited to 4.5% of awards, primarily under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5), her approach prioritizes mission necessity and system compatibility over socioeconomic preferences. The overwhelming majority of her acquisitions fall under NAICS 336413, reflecting deep specialization in other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing. She procures high-integrity components including avionics modules, flight control systems, maintenance kits, and sustainment support packages critical to Coast Guard aviation platforms, demonstrating expert command of aerospace logistics and defense supply chain dynamics.
