Andrew Hyatt

Andrew Hyatt serves as a procurement specialist within the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, playing a critical role in sustaining the readiness of U.S. military aviation systems. He manages the acquisition of high-reliability aircraft components, engine parts, and auxiliary subsystems essential for operational mission continuity. His work directly supports DLA Aviation’s mission to ensure the uninterrupted availability of mission-critical aviation materiel through strategic supply chain management, technical obsolescence mitigation, and rapid logistics response. Hyatt handles complex contract actions spanning direct procurement, long-term agreements, and emergency replenishment actions, often coordinating with engineering and logistics teams to validate technical specifications and lifecycle support requirements. Hyatt maintains collaborative relationships with a broad base of defense aerospace suppliers, including prime contractors specializing in avionics, hydraulic systems, and flight-critical hardware, as well as niche manufacturers of obsolete or hard-to-source components. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and supply chain transparency, fostering partnerships with vendors capable of meeting stringent military standards such as AS9100 and MIL-SPEC requirements. He routinely engages with both large-tier suppliers and specialized small manufacturers to ensure component traceability and sustainment viability across legacy and modernized platforms. Hyatt’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. While he does not routinely prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his process remains fully compliant with socioeconomic regulations, and small business participation is encouraged through unrestricted opportunities that align with technical capability and delivery timelines. His technical focus centers on NAICS categories related to aircraft parts and accessories manufacturing, aviation maintenance services, and defense electronics. He procures precision-engineered components, life-limited parts, avionics modules, and support equipment critical to maintaining the operational tempo of fighter jets, transport aircraft, and rotary-wing platforms, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace logistics and sustainment contracting.
