CPT Marshall, Tamera

CPT Tamera Marshall serves as a contracting professional within the 0410 AQ HQ Contract Office of the Department of the Army, where she plays a critical role in securing mission-enabling capabilities that sustain operational readiness across Army installations and deployed forces. Her procurement activities center on acquiring specialized aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment under NAICS 336413, ensuring that aviation support systems remain fully functional and mission-ready. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from market research and solicitation to contract award and administration—focusing on technical specifications that align with Army aviation maintenance and logistics requirements. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain seamless air operations through reliable, compliant, and timely procurement of critical components. CPT Marshall engages with a network of defense aerospace suppliers and Tier 1/2 manufacturers specializing in avionics, flight control systems, and non-standard aircraft components. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently works with firms possessing relevant ITAR and DFARS compliance, as well as those holding AS9100 certification. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical capability, supply chain resilience, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor partnerships built on quality assurance and delivery reliability. CPT Marshall’s procurement pattern reflects a strict preference for unrestricted competitions, with 100% of her acquisitions awarded under non-set-aside conditions. This indicates a focus on technical specificity and urgency over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing capability and availability over programmatic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her approach underscores the critical nature of the equipment procured, where mission-critical performance and supply chain continuity outweigh socioeconomic targeting. Her primary technical domain is the manufacture of other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, with expertise in procuring components such as flight control actuators, sensor housings, and mission-specific avionics integrations. She possesses deep familiarity with military aviation standards, including MIL-SPEC and SAE AS standards, ensuring that all acquisitions meet rigorous performance and interoperability requirements for Army rotorcraft and fixed-wing platforms.
