Elizabet Vanhoutan

Elizabet Vanhoutan serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the Ok DLA Aviation office at Oklahoma City, supporting the Defense Logistics Agency’s mission to sustain operational readiness of U.S. military aircraft systems. In this role, she facilitates the acquisition of critical aviation components, including aircraft engine parts and ancillary avionics, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical supply chain assets for both legacy and modern airframes. While not the primary contracting officer, she provides essential administrative and operational support to contract lifecycle management, contributing to the efficiency and compliance of procurement actions aligned with DoD aviation sustainment priorities. Her procurement activities are closely aligned with a core group of established contractors, including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Aero International, LLC, and Thomas Instrument, Incorporated, all of which specialize in high-integrity aerospace components and engine systems. She maintains consistent, long-term working relationships with these vendors, often engaging them on repeat-order requirements and technical support contracts for complex propulsion and avionics subsystems. Intertrade Limited appears frequently in her transactional history, indicating sustained collaboration on specialized parts distribution and logistics support. Vanhoutan’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued without set-aside designations, including no use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB preferences. This underscores a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and supply chain reliability over socioeconomic targeting, consistent with the DLA Aviation’s mandate to ensure uninterrupted fleet readiness. Her procurement expertise is concentrated exclusively in NAICS 336412 — Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing — reflecting deep specialization in turbine components, rotor systems, fuel control units, and other propulsion-related hardware. She supports technical domains requiring stringent military specifications, ensuring compliance with MIL-STD and AS9100 standards across all sourced items.
