Debbie Allred

Debbie Allred serves as a procurement specialist focused on aerospace and aviation systems, with a distinct emphasis on the manufacturing of other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment. Her role centers on executing complex acquisitions aligned with national defense and aviation readiness objectives, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and technical performance standards. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts—from market research and solicitation development to award and closeout—specializing in high-precision components critical to aircraft functionality and safety. Her work directly supports the operational capabilities of aerospace platforms by securing mission-critical subsystems and spare parts. Allred maintains a broad network of industrial suppliers within the aerospace manufacturing sector, engaging with both large-tier defense contractors and niche manufacturers capable of producing specialized, low-volume components. Her contracting approach prioritizes technical capability, supply chain resilience, and quality assurance over cost alone, fostering long-term vendor partnerships built on certification compliance and performance reliability. She frequently collaborates with firms holding AS9100 and ITAR registrations, ensuring adherence to stringent aerospace quality and export control standards. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under open, non-set-aside procedures. While she does not routinely utilize socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her focus remains on sourcing the most technically qualified vendors regardless of business size or certification status, consistent with mission-critical requirements. Allred’s primary technical domain is NAICS 336413, encompassing the procurement of non-engine aircraft components including avionics housings, landing gear accessories, flight control linkages, and auxiliary power system parts. Her expertise lies in evaluating proprietary designs, engineering drawings, and production capabilities for parts requiring high tolerances and rigorous certification, positioning her as a key liaison between technical requirements and industrial manufacturing execution in the defense aviation sector.
