Dorothy A. Harris

Dorothy A. Harris serves as a Contract Specialist within U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), where she plays a critical role in executing the agency’s global mobility mission through the acquisition of air transportation services essential to Department of Defense expeditionary logistics. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for scheduled freight air transportation, ensuring timely, secure, and efficient movement of personnel and cargo across air, sea, and land domains. Her work directly supports theater access and sustainment operations by securing reliable commercial air cargo capacity to meet dynamic military requirements worldwide. Harris maintains consistent contracting relationships with a core group of specialized aviation contractors, including UNCOMN LLC, PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, FANCIULLI EGISTO S.R.L., and MOUNTAIN AVIATION, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established providers with proven capabilities in military-qualified air freight operations, including aircraft charter, cargo handling, and expeditionary logistics support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requirements for international and domestic air transport services. Harris’s procurement portfolio is entirely focused on open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of operational readiness and capacity over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with USTransCom’s need for immediate, scalable, and globally compliant air cargo solutions. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 481112 (Scheduled Freight Air Transportation), indicating deep expertise in commercial air freight contracting for defense logistics. She specializes in acquiring time-sensitive, high-volume cargo transport services, often requiring specialized aircraft configurations, customs clearance coordination, and adherence to international aviation security protocols. Her domain knowledge ensures seamless integration of civil aviation assets into military mobility operations.
