Deborah Teubert

Deborah K. Teubert serves as a procurement specialist focused on aerospace and aviation systems, overseeing the acquisition of critical aircraft components and propulsion systems for national defense and operational readiness. Her work supports the agency’s mission to ensure the reliability and modernization of airborne platforms through strategic sourcing of high-precision manufacturing capabilities. She primarily manages competitive and sole-source contracts under FAR Part 15, with an emphasis on technical evaluations for complex engineering deliverables in aircraft subsystems and auxiliary equipment. Teubert maintains established relationships with a concentrated base of Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers specializing in aerospace components, particularly those with expertise in certified aviation manufacturing processes. Her contracting approach prioritizes technical compliance, supply chain resilience, and quality assurance standards aligned with AS9100 and FAA regulations. While vendor partnerships are stable and performance-driven, she consistently encourages new entrants with proven engineering capabilities to compete for open solicitations. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 93.5% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical superiority and industrial capacity over socioeconomic classifications. The remaining 6.5% of awards are reserved for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation when market conditions support it, without compromising mission-critical performance requirements. Teubert’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—where she procures flight control systems, avionics housings, and non-propulsion-related airframe components. A secondary emphasis on NAICS 336412—Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing—reflects her involvement in sustaining critical propulsion subsystems. Her domain expertise centers on precision-machined metallic and composite parts, certification compliance, and long-lead procurement strategies for defense-critical aviation systems.
