Itrina A Payne Green

Itrina Payne-Green serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions within the aerospace and defense supply chain. Her role centers on ensuring timely and compliant procurement of specialized components critical to national security and aviation systems. She handles a broad spectrum of contract actions, including sealed bids, competitive negotiations, and simplified acquisitions under FAR Part 13, with a strong emphasis on technical compliance and supply chain resilience. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain operational readiness through reliable sourcing of high-integrity parts and systems. Her contractor relationships are primarily with manufacturers of aircraft subsystems, fasteners, and auxiliary equipment, including both large-tier suppliers and niche industrial vendors. She engages with a diverse base of contractors who demonstrate technical certification, quality control adherence, and Just-In-Time delivery capabilities. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently prioritizes suppliers with AS9100 certification and robust quality management systems, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance reliability and regulatory compliance. Payne-Green’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with over 90% of awards issued under open solicitations. Nevertheless, she actively supports small business participation, regularly utilizing Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and occasionally deploying HUBZone set-asides to promote economic development in designated underserved areas. Her approach balances broad market access with targeted socioeconomic objectives, ensuring compliance with federal small business goals without compromising mission-critical requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), where she sources avionics components, landing gear subsystems, and flight control actuators. She also procures precision fasteners under 332722 and, to a lesser extent, specialized textile products and surgical supplies. Her technical expertise spans aerospace engineering standards, material specifications, and defense logistics frameworks, making her a key liaison between operational needs and industrial supply capabilities.
