Brenna Harris

Brenna J. Harris supports the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation’s mission to sustain U.S. military aviation readiness through strategic procurement of critical aircraft components and subsystems. While her formal title is not specified, her work centers on managing complex acquisition cycles for high-reliability parts essential to aircraft operation, maintenance, and mission readiness. She handles contracts for specialized aviation hardware, including engine components, auxiliary systems, and non-standard fabricated metal and electronic parts, ensuring timely delivery under stringent military specifications. Her role is pivotal in maintaining supply chain resilience and mitigating technical obsolescence across legacy and modern airframes. Her contractor relationships are primarily with manufacturers of aerospace-grade components, particularly those specializing in other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment. She engages with a broad base of industrial suppliers, including firms capable of reverse engineering obsolete parts, producing certified metallurgical components, and delivering electronic subsystems compliant with MIL-SPEC standards. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense industrial base vendors with proven technical capabilities and quality assurance systems. Set-aside preferences indicate a strong emphasis on open competition, with 97.9% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. However, she consistently allocates approximately 2.1% of acquisitions to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical supply chain requirements. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 336413, reflecting deep expertise in sourcing non-engine aircraft parts such as landing gear components, avionics housings, and structural fittings. She also manages acquisitions in aircraft engine parts manufacturing and specialized materials like carbon-graphite composites, underscoring her technical fluency in aerospace manufacturing domains and her role in sustaining the readiness of critical U.S. military aviation platforms.
