Ginger G Woodington

Ginger G. Woodington serves as a C-130 Contract Specialist at the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), where she plays a pivotal role in sustaining the U.S. Coast Guard’s fixed-wing aviation fleet. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle procurement of mission-critical components for the HC-144 Ocean Sentry and other C-130-derived platforms, ensuring operational readiness through timely acquisition of avionics, maintenance support systems, and specialized aircraft parts. She manages complex contract actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, coordinating with engineering, logistics, and maintenance teams to align procurement strategy with fleet sustainment objectives. Her acquisitions primarily support avionics modernization, structural component replacement, and technical training initiatives essential to extending the service life of legacy aircraft. Woodington maintains established working relationships with key industry partners including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and AVIATRIX INC, among others. These partnerships are characterized by long-term sustainment contracts for integrated avionics upgrades, maintenance support packages, and logistics services tailored to Coast Guard operational requirements. She frequently engages with defense aerospace suppliers capable of delivering FAA-certified, military-spec components and technical documentation, emphasizing reliability, traceability, and compliance with military airworthiness standards. Her contracting approach reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her portfolio remains open competition, she consistently prioritizes qualified small businesses capable of supporting niche aviation maintenance and training needs, demonstrating a deliberate effort to broaden the industrial base for Coast Guard sustainment. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 336413 for aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, 488190 for air transportation support services, and 334511 for aeronautical navigation and guidance systems. She specializes in acquiring mission-critical hardware such as radar integration kits, communication modules, flight control interfaces, and technical training systems, reflecting deep domain expertise in military aviation sustainment and systems integration.
