Cheryl Renz-Olar

Cheryl Renz-Olar supports the Defense Logistics Agency’s Aviation division at Huntsville in executing mission-critical procurement actions for advanced aerospace and avionics systems. She plays a key role in securing high-integrity components essential to the sustainment and modernization of U.S. military aircraft, missile, and space propulsion platforms. Her acquisitions focus on mission-critical hardware including bare printed circuit boards, avionics instrumentation, wiring systems, and auxiliary aircraft components, ensuring operational readiness through reliable, secure, and technologically advanced supply chains. Renz-Olar manages complex contract vehicles requiring strict compliance with defense specifications and supply chain integrity standards. She maintains established working relationships with leading defense contractors including BAE Systems Land and Armaments L.P., L3Harris Fuzing and Ordnance Systems, Inc., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, often engaging them on technical, high-assurance procurement actions involving classified or controlled technologies. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with industry leaders capable of meeting stringent military standards for reliability, traceability, and systems integration, particularly in electronic component manufacturing and aeronautical subsystems. Renz-Olar’s procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 90.2% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the specialized nature and technical complexity of the requirements. Small business participation is present but limited, with 7.3% allocated to total small business set-asides and 2.4% to women-owned small businesses, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains compliant with all applicable FAR and DOD small business policies. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334412 (bare printed circuit board manufacturing) and 334511 (aeronautical system and instrument manufacturing), underscoring deep expertise in electronic component sourcing for mission-critical avionics. She regularly acquires current-carrying wiring devices and auxiliary aircraft equipment, demonstrating specialized knowledge in electronic subsystems, signal integrity, and defense-grade manufacturing standards essential to modern military aviation platforms.
