Asaycia Clayton

Asaycia Clayton serves as a primary procurement lead within the Ok DLA Aviation at Oklahoma City, operating under the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation. In this role, she is responsible for managing the acquisition of critical aviation components and support equipment essential to sustaining the operational readiness of U.S. military aircraft systems. Her portfolio focuses on the procurement of aircraft parts, auxiliary systems, and engine components required for both legacy and modern airframes, ensuring continuous supply chain resilience across Department of Defense platforms. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements validation through award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with DoD logistics and sustainment objectives. Clayton maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, AERO INTERNATIONAL, LLC, and THOMAS INSTRUMENT, INCORPORATED, among others. These partnerships are primarily with established Tier 1 and specialized manufacturers with proven capabilities in aerospace component production and maintenance support. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and long-term sustainment partnerships, often favoring vendors with deep expertise in military-grade avionics, propulsion subsystems, and mission-critical hardware. Clayton’s procurement activity is entirely classified under “No Set-Aside,” reflecting a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. This indicates a prioritization of technical capability, production capacity, and supply chain continuity over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the DLA’s mission to ensure uninterrupted availability of high-demand aviation parts across the force. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—where she acquires avionics, actuators, control systems, and non-engine ancillary components. A secondary emphasis on NAICS 336412 reflects her involvement in sourcing engine parts and related propulsion subsystems. Her technical domain expertise centers on the sustainment of complex aerospace systems, requiring precise adherence to military specifications and logistics traceability standards.
