Andrea Swayne

Andrea Swayne serves as Inventory Manager at the U.S. Coast Guard’s Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), where she plays a pivotal role in sustaining the operational readiness of the Coast Guard’s rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft fleet. Responsible for the lifecycle management of mission-critical aviation parts and components, she oversees the procurement, distribution, and inventory control of avionics, engine assemblies, and airframe subsystems. Her work directly supports the sustainment of legacy platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry, ensuring timely availability of parts to maintain mission-critical flight operations. Swayne manages a high-volume, just-in-time acquisition environment focused on technical spares and engineered components, working closely with maintenance and logistics teams to align procurement with operational demands. She maintains strategic relationships with key defense and aerospace suppliers including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, AVIATRIX INC, and GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC. These partnerships are centered on long-term sustainment contracts for certified aviation parts, repairable assemblies, and technical support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, traceability, and compliance with FAA and military aviation standards, fostering collaborative vendor relationships that prioritize quality assurance and supply chain resilience. Swayne’s acquisition portfolio reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of her contracts awarded without set-aside preferences. There is no formal emphasis on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, as her operational requirements demand specialized technical capabilities typically held by large, certified aerospace manufacturers with established defense supply chain credentials. Her primary procurement activity falls under NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), reflecting deep specialization in turbine engine components, avionics modules, and flight-critical hardware. She routinely procures FAA-PMA and TSO-certified parts, overhaul kits, and engineered replacement systems, demonstrating expertise in military aviation logistics and technical specifications governing aircraft sustainment.
