Jacqueline West

Jacqueline West serves as a secondary procurement contact within the FA8118 unit of the Air Force Sustainment Center, supporting the sustainment and modernization of critical aerospace systems for legacy and active-duty platforms including the B-52, KC-135, E-3, T-38, and B-1. Her role involves facilitating the acquisition of high-integrity aircraft components such as fuel pumps, actuators, servo-cylinders, and gearboxes through remanufacturing, overhaul, and limited new manufacture. She works in close coordination with primary contracting officers to ensure timely delivery of mission-critical parts that maintain airworthiness and operational readiness across the Air Force’s aging fleet. Her acquisitions are heavily focused on technical aerospace subsystems requiring stringent quality control and military specification compliance. West maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors including MOOG MILITARY AIRCRAFT LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, TEXAS AEROSPACE SERVICES INC, AEROCOREX LLC, and UNITED DYNAMICS, INC. These vendors are recognized for their expertise in remanufacturing complex flight-critical components and delivering certified aerospace parts under strict DoD quality assurance standards. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with vendors possessing deep technical capability in aircraft systems overhaul, rather than transactional or commoditized sourcing. Her contracting activity shows a strong preference for open competition, with 74.7% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, reflecting the specialized nature of the required components and limited qualified vendor base. However, she actively supports small business participation, with 25.3% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, consistently enabling qualified small manufacturers to compete for high-value technical work. The vast majority of her procurements fall under NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—with additional activity in aircraft engine parts manufacturing (336412) and specialized engineering services (541330). Her domain expertise centers on precision-machined, flight-safety-critical components requiring certification under MIL-SPEC, AS9100, and FAA regulations, underscoring a deep technical alignment with aerospace sustainment and life-cycle support.
