Ashley Rogers

Ashley Rogers supports the procurement mission of DLA Aviation by managing the acquisition of critical aviation components and subsystems essential to the sustainment of U.S. military aircraft and engine systems. As a key procurement professional within the Department of Defense’s Defense Logistics Agency, Rogers ensures the timely availability of high-reliability parts, addressing technical obsolescence and supply chain vulnerabilities through strategic sourcing and lifecycle management. Their work directly enables operational readiness by securing mission-critical hardware and maintenance support services for fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and unmanned aerial systems, with a focus on maintaining continuous supply chain integrity under dynamic operational demands. Rogers collaborates with a broad base of industrial suppliers specializing in aerospace manufacturing and precision component fabrication, including both large-tier defense contractors and niche suppliers with specialized technical capabilities. While no single contractor dominates the award profile, the contracting pattern reflects a preference for established vendors with proven quality control systems, AS9100 certification, and experience in defense-grade manufacturing. Relationships are built on performance history, technical compliance, and responsiveness to urgent logistics requirements, with an emphasis on sustaining long-term supplier partnerships that ensure part authenticity and traceability. Rogers’ procurement activities reflect a strict preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This reflects DLA Aviation’s operational imperative to prioritize mission-critical availability over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring the fastest possible access to certified, qualified suppliers regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in this portfolio, all vendors must meet stringent defense supply chain standards. The primary NAICS classification for Rogers’ portfolio is 333310, Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing, encompassing the procurement of specialized avionics support equipment, hydraulic and pneumatic subsystems, and aircraft maintenance tools. This specialization demands deep technical familiarity with military specifications, engineering drawings, and reverse engineering protocols for legacy systems, positioning Rogers as a subject matter expert in sustaining aging airframes through precision component acquisition.
