Angelina Dunlap serves as a primary procurement lead within the Aviation Supply Chain under the Department of Defense’s Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, where she plays a critical role in sustaining the operational readiness of U.S. military aircraft systems. She manages the acquisition of mission-critical aviation hardware, including high-integrity fasteners, precision-engineered structural components, and specialized engine and airframe parts that meet rigorous military specifications. Her work ensures the uninterrupted availability of aircraft platforms by securing reliable supply chains for components subject to strict quality, traceability, and certification requirements under MIL-SPEC and AS9100 standards. Dunlap collaborates with a diverse network of qualified suppliers, including certified aerospace manufacturers, defense-tier subcontractors, and niche suppliers of hardened aviation hardware. She cultivates long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical compliance, just-in-time delivery capabilities, and robust quality assurance protocols. Her contracting approach emphasizes supplier performance metrics, configuration control, and supply chain resilience, often engaging vendors with AS9100D certification and DOD-approved source lists. While specific set-aside data is not currently available, Dunlap’s procurement philosophy reflects a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic contracting, consistently prioritizing participation from 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB firms where technical requirements permit. She actively seeks out qualified small businesses capable of meeting the stringent certification and inspection standards required for aviation components, fostering inclusive supply chain development without compromising mission-critical performance. Her industry focus centers on NAICS categories related to aerospace component manufacturing, including forgings, machined hardware, and specialized fastening systems. Dunlap specializes in procuring high-reliability parts such as titanium alloy bolts, aircraft-grade nuts, self-locking fasteners, and corrosion-resistant fittings used in jet engines and flight-critical airframes. Her technical expertise spans materials science, metallurgical specifications, and aerospace supply chain traceability, ensuring all acquisitions meet DoD aviation sustainment standards.
