Geneva K. James

Geneva K. James serves as a Purchasing Agent at the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), a critical component of the Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Coast Guard aviation sustainment mission. In this role, she manages the end-to-end procurement of mission-critical aviation parts, avionics systems, and maintenance support services essential to sustaining the Coast Guard’s rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft fleet, including legacy platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry. Her acquisitions focus on ensuring operational readiness through timely sourcing of specialized components, repair services, and technical support, aligning with the ALC’s strategic imperative to extend service life and maintain airworthiness across aging platforms. James maintains consistent procurement relationships with key industry partners including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and AVIATRIX INC, among others, reflecting a preference for established aerospace and defense contractors with proven capabilities in avionics, aircraft subsystems, and logistics integration. Her contracting patterns emphasize technical reliability and supply chain continuity, often leveraging long-term agreements and performance-based service contracts to ensure sustained support for complex aviation systems. Her set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly dominated by unrestricted acquisitions, with 91.3% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides, indicating a primary focus on mission-critical capability over socioeconomic targeting. Only 8.7% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, suggesting a selective but deliberate approach to small business participation when technical requirements permit. Her procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in sourcing specialized aviation components, including flight control systems, sensors, and auxiliary power units. She also engages in maintenance-related procurements under NAICS 811210, demonstrating technical fluency in avionics repair and aircraft systems sustainment within a highly regulated defense aviation environment.
