Beth M Tyrrell

Beth M. Tyrrell serves as a Buyer responsible for managing complex procurement actions within the aerospace and defense sector, focusing on the acquisition of critical aircraft components and propulsion systems. Her role is central to ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical parts that support national defense and aviation readiness. She handles competitive solicitations under FAR Part 15, often employing sealed bidding and negotiated contracting methods to secure high-integrity components for military and civilian aviation platforms. Her acquisitions span the full lifecycle of aircraft subsystems, from design validation to production-scale manufacturing. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Tyrrell consistently engages with Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers specializing in precision-engineered aerospace components. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established manufacturers with AS9100 certification and robust quality management systems, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical compliance and supply chain reliability. She frequently collaborates with firms possessing ITAR and EAR compliance capabilities, ensuring adherence to export control regulations in all transactions. Tyrrell’s set-aside profile reveals a strong orientation toward open competition, with 97.3% of her awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. However, she maintains a measured commitment to small business participation, directing 2.7% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach—prioritizing technical capability and schedule integrity while still providing opportunities for qualified small businesses that meet stringent performance and certification requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in airframe subsystems, flight control components, and turbine engine assemblies. She routinely procures high-tolerance machined parts, avionics housings, fuel system components, and certified fasteners used in both commercial and defense aviation platforms, demonstrating specialized knowledge in materials science, FAA/EASA certification pathways, and military specification standards.
