Amy Yeager

Amy Yeager serves as a procurement specialist focused on aerospace and aviation systems acquisition, playing a critical role in advancing the agency’s mission to modernize and sustain critical aviation infrastructure. She manages complex contracting actions for high-precision components and subsystems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and technical performance standards. Her portfolio centers on the design, development, and integration of aircraft systems, with a strong emphasis on reliability, safety, and supply chain resilience. Yeager works closely with engineering and program management teams to align contracting strategies with operational requirements, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical aerospace assets. Her contractor relationships are primarily with Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers specializing in aerospace components, including firms with deep expertise in airframe integration, propulsion systems, and avionics. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with established defense and commercial aviation suppliers capable of meeting stringent FAA and DoD certification standards. Her approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, technical evaluations, and long-term supplier capability assessments rather than transactional procurement. Yeager’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a strategic focus on technical merit and industrial capacity over socioeconomic set-asides, suggesting she prioritizes mission-critical performance and supply chain continuity over socioeconomic targeting. Her approach aligns with high-technology acquisition environments where specialized capabilities are scarce and qualification thresholds are rigorous. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with significant activity in 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing) and 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing). She specializes in procuring flight-critical components such as actuators, fuel systems, control surfaces, and auxiliary power units, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with aerospace manufacturing processes and certification pathways.
