Ashley JONES-TURNER

Ashley JONES-TURNER serves as the primary procurement lead for the Asc Commodities Division within the Department of Defense’s Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, responsible for acquiring mission-critical mechanical and electrical components that sustain the operational readiness of military aircraft systems. Her role centers on managing the full lifecycle of contracts for high-reliability fasteners, bearings, wiring devices, and precision-engineered parts essential to airframe integrity and avionics functionality. She ensures compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement requirements while aligning acquisitions with aviation maintenance and sustainment priorities across the DoD enterprise. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in the procurement record, Jones-Turner consistently engages with manufacturers and distributors specializing in aerospace-grade components, fostering partnerships with both large-tier suppliers and qualified small businesses capable of meeting stringent military specifications such as AS9100 and MIL-SPEC standards. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in producing certified hardware for high-stress, high-safety environments. Jones-Turner’s procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 94.3% of awards issued under open competition, reflecting the technical complexity and limited supplier base for specialized aviation components. Nevertheless, she maintains a deliberate 5.7% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical performance or supply chain resilience. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 332722, encompassing the procurement of bolts, nuts, screws, rivets, and washers engineered to military tolerances, with secondary emphasis on turbine components, nonferrous metal castings, motor and generator assemblies, and auxiliary aircraft equipment. This technical specialization underscores her expertise in sourcing precision-manufactured hardware critical to the structural and electronic systems of defense aviation platforms.
