Jared Pitts

Jared Pitts serves as a key procurement professional within the Georgia Defense Logistics Agency Aviation at Warner Robins, supporting the sustainment and modernization of critical U.S. military aviation systems. He manages complex acquisitions for high-integrity avionics, electronic subsystems, and mission-critical aircraft components used on strategic platforms including the C-5, B-52H, and RQ-4 Global Hawk. His work ensures operational readiness through the timely delivery of technically demanding hardware and repair services, aligning with the agency’s mission to maintain air superiority through reliable supply chain solutions. Pitts typically handles full-life-cycle contracts covering procurement, integration, and maintenance of advanced aerospace electronics. Pitts maintains longstanding relationships with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, L3Harris Technologies, Inc., and Raytheon Company, all of which are integral to delivering next-generation avionics and electronic warfare systems. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical compliance, often requiring rigorous qualification of suppliers for MIL-STD and DO-160 standards. These partnerships are characterized by long-term strategic alignment, with a focus on sustaining legacy systems while enabling technology insertion into aging fleets. Pitts’ procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside categories. This indicates a focus on technical capability and mission necessity over socioeconomic classifications, prioritizing proven performance and system interoperability over demographic-based contracting preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, all vendors must meet stringent quality and traceability requirements inherent to defense aviation systems. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334511 for search, navigation, and guidance systems, complemented by significant activity in printed circuit assembly (334418), electronic repair and maintenance (811210), and wireless communications equipment manufacturing (334220). He specializes in acquiring flight-critical electronic assemblies, radar and communication modules, and precision repair services for mission-essential avionics architectures.
