Deborah Krull

Deborah Krull serves as Inventory Manager at the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), where she plays a critical role in sustaining the operational readiness of U.S. Coast Guard rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft. Responsible for the lifecycle management of mission-critical aviation parts and auxiliary equipment, she oversees procurement strategies that ensure timely availability of spare components, avionics subsystems, and maintenance support assets. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to extend the service life of legacy platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry, ensuring mission continuity through precise inventory control and demand-driven acquisition planning. Krull primarily handles direct purchase actions, blanket purchase agreements, and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts for technical aviation components. She maintains long-standing partnerships with key industry leaders including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and AVIATRIX INC, collaborating closely on the procurement of certified aviation parts, avionics upgrades, and sustainment services. Her relationships with these vendors are characterized by technical alignment, contractual compliance, and proactive supply chain coordination to mitigate obsolescence risks. She also engages with specialized logistics providers like GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC, to ensure seamless warehousing, distribution, and reverse logistics for high-value components. Krull’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under no set-aside provisions. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach emphasizes technical capability, supply chain reliability, and regulatory compliance over socioeconomic criteria. Her primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in sourcing certified airframe components, avionics modules, and support equipment for military aviation platforms. She also manages acquisitions under NAICS 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), particularly for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services. Krull’s domain expertise lies in aviation sustainment, parts obsolescence management, and technical specification validation for Coast Guard aircraft systems.
