Denise Davis

Denise Davis serves as the Alternate Point of Contact for the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), supporting the U.S. Coast Guard’s mission to sustain and modernize its rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft fleet. In this capacity, she facilitates the acquisition of mission-critical aviation components, avionics systems, and maintenance support services, ensuring operational readiness across legacy platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry. Her role involves coordinating with primary contracting officers to execute complex procurement actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, with a focus on technical sustainment, parts logistics, and software integration for aviation systems. She is deeply embedded in the lifecycle management of aerospace assets, managing both direct and indirect acquisition pathways to maintain fleet availability. Davis maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and AVIATRIX INC, who provide advanced avionics, maintenance support, and logistics integration services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established defense aerospace vendors with proven track records in military aviation sustainment, alongside specialized firms like GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC, for supply chain and depot-level maintenance support. These partnerships are typically structured as indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts or performance-based service agreements. Her contracting portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 97.8% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the specialized nature of aviation logistics requirements. Only 2.2% of acquisitions are designated as total small business set-asides, indicating a strategic focus on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences, though small business participation remains a secondary consideration where feasible. The ALC’s procurement activity is dominated by NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), underscoring her expertise in procuring custom-engineered airframe components, flight control systems, and mission-specific avionics. Additional focus areas include NAICS 488190 for air transportation support services and 513210 for embedded software and firmware development, highlighting her technical fluency in aviation systems integration and digital sustainment solutions.
