Heather Stoker

Heather J. Stoker serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisition programs across aerospace and construction sectors. She plays a pivotal role in executing full lifecycle procurement activities, from requirements validation and market research to solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. Her portfolio emphasizes high-value, technically demanding acquisitions requiring strict compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense standards. Stoker routinely handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, ensuring alignment with mission-critical operational needs while maintaining rigorous accountability and transparency. Stoker cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of industry partners, primarily engaging prime contractors with proven expertise in aircraft manufacturing and commercial building construction. Her contracting approach favors established vendors with robust quality control systems, past performance records, and technical capabilities in specialized engineering domains. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently works with firms capable of delivering integrated solutions in aviation systems and large-scale facility construction, often requiring ISO certifications and defense industrial base qualifications. Stoker’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-asides. This indicates a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic categorization, though she remains compliant with all statutory small business participation requirements. Her approach prioritizes mission effectiveness and value-driven outcomes, ensuring that contract awards are based on competitive fairness and performance readiness rather than preferential targeting. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). She specializes in procuring advanced avionics, propulsion subsystems, structural components, and turnkey construction services for federal facilities. Her technical expertise spans aerospace engineering standards, building code compliance, and systems integration, positioning her as a subject matter expert in mission-critical infrastructure and aviation procurement.
