Brandy Moneymaker

Brandy Moneymaker serves as a Contract Specialist at the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) within the U.S. Coast Guard, where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical aviation sustainment capabilities. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for spare parts, avionics upgrades, and maintenance support services essential to the operational readiness of Coast Guard rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft, including the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry. Her portfolio emphasizes technical procurement under FAR Part 15, with a focus on performance-based contracts, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, and engineering services that extend the service life of legacy platforms. Moneymaker ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement strategies with the ALC’s strategic goals of fleet modernization and logistical resilience. She maintains longstanding relationships with key industry partners including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, AVIATRIX INC, and GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC, reflecting a preference for established defense and aerospace contractors with proven capabilities in avionics integration, aircraft maintenance, and logistics support. Her contracting approach prioritizes technical proficiency and supply chain reliability, often leveraging sole-source or limited competition authorities where justified by unique system dependencies or proprietary technology. Moneymaker’s set-aside profile is predominantly non-set-aside at 85.7%, with 14.3% allocated to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, she demonstrates a measured commitment to small business participation by strategically reserving select procurements for small businesses capable of delivering niche aviation support services. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 for other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing, complemented by significant activity in engineering services (541330), other support activities for water transportation (488390), and software and data services (511210). This reflects deep expertise in procuring specialized aviation components, technical maintenance support, and integrated logistics solutions critical to sustaining Coast Guard aviation operations.
