Ashli Procise

Ashli Procise serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, where she supports the acquisition of critical aviation components essential to the readiness and sustainment of U.S. military aircraft systems. She manages complex contracts for high-reliability parts, engine subsystems, and auxiliary equipment, ensuring timely delivery to maintain operational mission capability. Her work directly aligns with DLA Aviation’s mission to secure resilient supply chains and mitigate technical obsolescence across aging airframes and propulsion systems. Procise typically handles competitive sealed bids and negotiated acquisitions under FAR Part 15, with a focus on technical specifications for aerospace-grade materials and certified manufacturing processes. Procise maintains a broad network of industrial suppliers, primarily engaging with Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers specializing in precision machining, avionics integration, and aerospace component fabrication. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently collaborates with established defense aerospace firms and specialized metalworking vendors capable of meeting MIL-SPEC and AS9100 quality standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based requirements, technical evaluations, and supplier qualification through rigorous source selection criteria, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in reliability and compliance. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 95% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. Nevertheless, she actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides, consistently allocating approximately 5% of opportunities to qualified small businesses under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both mission readiness and socioeconomic goals. Procise’s technical focus centers on NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing) and 333517 (Machine Tool Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in procuring turbine components, fuel control systems, and precision-machined structural parts. She also regularly acquires auxiliary equipment under 336413 and sealing devices under 339991, underscoring her proficiency in managing the full lifecycle support of aircraft systems—from propulsion to ancillary hardware—ensuring airworthiness and mission continuity.
