Courtney Minor serves as the primary procurement lead within the Asc Supplier Oper OEM Division of the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, responsible for managing critical acquisitions of high-reliability aviation components essential to U.S. military aircraft readiness. Their role centers on sustaining and modernizing propulsion, flight control, and avionics systems for legacy and next-generation platforms, ensuring mission-critical parts meet stringent DoD performance and safety standards. Minor oversees the full lifecycle of complex technical acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration, with a focus on precision-engineered components that support operational continuity across the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps aviation fleets. Contractor relationships are primarily established with Tier 1 and Tier 2 aerospace and defense manufacturers capable of delivering certified, traceable parts under AS9100 and ITAR compliance. While no single contractor dominates the award profile, Minor consistently engages with specialized OEMs and authorized distributors possessing certified manufacturing capabilities for aerospace-grade valves, sensors, pumps, and auxiliary equipment. The working relationship pattern emphasizes technical validation, supply chain transparency, and long-term sustainment partnerships over transactional procurement. Set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly aligned with open competition, with 97.6% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides, reflecting the technical complexity and limited supplier base for mission-critical aviation components. Only 2.4% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a selective but deliberate approach to small business participation when technical requirements permit. Primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), with additional focus on 334519 (Measuring and Controlling Devices) and 332911 (Industrial Valves). Minor’s expertise lies in sourcing precision-engineered, flight-certified components including actuators, fuel control units, hydraulic valves, and avionics sensors—technical domains demanding rigorous qualification and defense-specific compliance standards.
