Christina Diebold

Christina Diebold serves as a primary contracting professional within the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, where she plays a critical role in securing high-reliability aircraft components and subsystems essential to military aviation readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on the sustainment of military aircraft, engines, and auxiliary systems, ensuring the continuous availability of mission-critical parts under stringent technical and logistical requirements. Her work directly supports DLA Aviation’s mission of supply chain resilience, obsolescence management, and rapid logistics response, with a strong emphasis on technical compliance and lifecycle support for legacy and modern airframes. Diebold maintains strategic relationships with a broad base of industrial suppliers, primarily manufacturers of aircraft parts, fasteners, and engine components. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with Tier 1 and Tier 2 defense aerospace suppliers, including specialized manufacturers of certified aviation hardware and precision-machined components. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based specifications, technical data packages, and long-term supply agreements to mitigate risk and ensure continuity of supply for aging platforms. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 96.2% of actions awarded without set-asides, indicating a focus on maximizing competition among qualified industrial providers. Small business participation remains limited but intentional, with modest allocations to Total Small Business, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and HUBZone firms, reflecting compliance with statutory goals without compromising mission-critical performance or supply chain integrity. Diebold’s primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—encompassing avionics housings, actuators, and non-engine airframe components. She also frequently procures fasteners and hardware under NAICS 332722 and engine parts under NAICS 336412, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with aerospace manufacturing standards, including AS9100, MIL-SPEC, and FAA/EASA certification requirements. Her expertise centers on sourcing mission-essential hardware that meets exacting military performance and traceability standards.
