James B Oros

James B. Oros serves as a contracting officer for the Commanding Officer (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, specializing in the procurement of mission-critical aerospace components to sustain naval aviation and electronic warfare systems. His role centers on issuing firm-fixed-price purchase orders for direct replacement aircraft parts, ensuring rapid replenishment of high-demand, safety-critical components to maintain operational readiness. Oros supports the agency’s broader mission to modernize airframe and avionics systems by executing streamlined, low-risk acquisitions that prioritize reliability, traceability, and supply chain resilience. His portfolio is heavily focused on direct replacements rather than new development, requiring precise technical specification alignment and strict compliance with military aviation standards. Oros maintains consistent relationships with established aerospace suppliers, most notably Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and Lockheed Martin Corporation, which serve as primary sources for certified replacement parts and engineered components. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for proven vendors with established quality assurance systems, FAA/EASA certifications, and defense supply chain credentials. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and long-term reliability, with minimal reliance on new or untested suppliers, reflecting a risk-averse approach critical to mission-critical aviation sustainment. His procurement activity is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 91.7% of awards issued under open competition, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. However, he does support small business participation at modest levels, with 6.3% of awards directed toward total small business set-asides and 2.1% to SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses, demonstrating a measured but intentional inclusion of qualified small entities. Oros’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with significant activity in 332812 (Metal Coating and Engraving) and 336412 (Aircraft Engine Parts Manufacturing). He procures precision-engineered components including actuators, sensor housings, avionics enclosures, and corrosion-resistant fasteners, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace materials, military specification compliance, and parts obsolescence management.
