D05-SMB-LRS-Procurement

D05-SMB-LRS-Procurement@uscg.mil serves as a key procurement liaison for the U.S. Coast Guard’s Aviation Logistics Center, supporting the sustainment and modernization of the Coast Guard’s rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft fleet. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions in aviation parts, avionics, and maintenance support services, this role ensures mission-critical readiness by securing reliable supply chains for legacy and modernized platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry. The position specializes in direct and indirect procurement actions under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, frequently handling sole-source, competitive, and negotiated contracts for technical aviation components and logistics services. The procurement team maintains enduring relationships with prime contractors including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and AVIATRIX INC, who provide advanced avionics, structural components, and integrated logistics support. Additional partners such as GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC and Quality Biological, Inc. contribute specialized maintenance, repair, and operational support services. These partnerships reflect a preference for established defense aerospace suppliers with proven track records in military aviation sustainment, often under long-term blanket purchase agreements or indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts. While the majority of acquisitions (62%) are unrestricted, a significant portion (38%) is set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding small business engagement in aviation logistics. There is no evidence of targeted set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB categories; instead, the focus is on broad-based small business inclusion through total small business set-asides, aligning with the Coast Guard’s strategic goal of fostering a resilient domestic supply base. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting a core focus on airframe components, auxiliary systems, and non-engine aviation hardware. Secondary activity centers on NAICS 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), encompassing maintenance, repair, overhaul, and technical support services critical to sustaining fleet operational tempo. The team’s expertise lies in procuring mission-critical aviation sustainment solutions with stringent military specifications and traceability requirements.
