Ayelet Sartin

Ayelet J. Sartin is a procurement professional specializing in the acquisition of precision industrial components and specialized hardware for federal operations. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts centered on the manufacturing and supply of fasteners, mechanical hardware, and surgical instruments, ensuring alignment with federal standards for quality, reliability, and supply chain resilience. Her work supports mission-critical infrastructure across defense, healthcare, and industrial sectors, with a strong emphasis on compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) procedures and lifecycle procurement planning. Sartin’s acquisitions are characterized by technical specificity and a focus on domestic manufacturing capabilities. Her contractor relationships are primarily with U.S.-based manufacturers specializing in precision metal fabrication and mechanical assembly. She consistently engages with small and mid-sized industrial suppliers capable of meeting stringent military and medical specifications, including AS9100 and ISO 13485 certifications. While no single vendor dominates her award profile, her pattern reflects a preference for firms with proven capacity in high-tolerance component production and just-in-time delivery systems, fostering long-term supplier partnerships grounded in performance and compliance. Sartin demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with nearly 18% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate focus on enabling small manufacturers to compete for federal opportunities, with minimal use of other socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a) or HUBZone, indicating a preference for broad-based small business eligibility over targeted programs. This approach supports a diverse industrial base while maintaining procurement efficiency. Her primary NAICS focus lies in Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (332722) and Hardware Manufacturing (332510), with a secondary emphasis on Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing (339112). She procures high-integrity mechanical components requiring tight tolerances, material traceability, and certification documentation, demonstrating deep technical expertise in industrial engineering and regulated manufacturing domains. Her work ensures the availability of mission-critical hardware across defense, aerospace, and healthcare applications.
