Charlotte Witt

Charlotte Witt serves as the primary contracting lead for the Defense Logistics Agency’s Aviation division at Huntsville, where she manages mission-critical procurements to sustain U.S. military aviation platforms. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle acquisition of high-integrity avionics, propulsion components, and mission-critical hardware for aircraft, missile, and space systems. She ensures the timely delivery of technically complex, defense-grade equipment that supports operational readiness and modernization initiatives, with a focus on supply chain resilience and system interoperability. Witt’s portfolio centers on engineering-intensive contracts requiring rigorous compliance with DoD technical standards and security protocols. She maintains longstanding relationships with key defense contractors including Intuitive Research and Technology Corporation, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, BAE Systems Land and Armaments L.P., Simulation Technologies, Inc., and L3Harris Fuzing and Ordnance Systems, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven expertise in advanced propulsion, electronic warfare systems, and simulation-based testing. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical validation, and long-term sustainment support, fostering collaborative vendor engagement to meet stringent military requirements. Witt’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the DLA Aviation’s mandate to prioritize system reliability and readiness above all else. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, all procurements adhere to federal acquisition regulations and competitive fairness standards. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 335312—Motor and Generator Manufacturing—encompassing high-reliability power systems, torque actuators, and embedded electrical components essential for flight control and propulsion. She specializes in sourcing ruggedized, mission-qualified hardware engineered for extreme environments, demonstrating deep technical fluency in electromagnetic systems, thermal management, and aerospace-grade manufacturing processes.
