Gabrielle Berry

Gabrielle Berry supports the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) of the U.S. Coast Guard in managing critical procurement activities essential to sustaining the agency’s rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft fleets. She plays a central role in acquiring mission-critical aviation components, maintenance support services, and avionics sustainment solutions that ensure operational readiness. Her acquisitions primarily focus on parts and auxiliary equipment for legacy platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry, aligning with the ALC’s mission to extend service life and maintain fleet reliability through timely, technically sound contracting. Berry maintains consistent relationships with leading aerospace and defense contractors including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and AVIATRIX INC, among others. These partnerships are characterized by long-term sustainment contracts for complex aviation systems, including avionics upgrades, component repair, and logistics support. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical precision and supply chain resilience, often engaging vendors with specialized expertise in military-grade aviation hardware and integrated logistics solutions. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 89.6% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. While small business participation remains a secondary focus at 10.4%, it is primarily channeled through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a measured but deliberate commitment to expanding vendor diversity without compromising mission-critical requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in sourcing specialized aviation components, repair kits, and support equipment. She also engages NAICS 488190 for air transportation logistics services, demonstrating proficiency in integrated maintenance and supply chain management for Coast Guard aviation assets. Her domain expertise centers on the sustainment of aging aircraft systems through technical procurement strategies that prioritize reliability, compliance, and lifecycle support.
