Jariya Taylor

Jariya Taylor serves as a procurement professional within the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, supporting the acquisition of mission-critical aviation components and subsystems essential to U.S. military airworthiness and operational readiness. Responsible for managing complex contract actions across the aviation sustainment lifecycle, Taylor specializes in sourcing high-reliability parts for aircraft engines, avionics, auxiliary systems, and specialized electrical components. Their work directly enables the DLA Aviation mission to maintain supply chain resilience, mitigate technical obsolescence, and ensure rapid logistics response for deployed forces. Acquisitions under their purview typically involve technical specifications requiring strict compliance with military standards and long-term sustainment planning. Taylor engages with a broad base of industrial suppliers, including Tier 1 manufacturers and niche specialty producers capable of meeting exacting aerospace and defense quality requirements. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, their contracting patterns reflect consistent collaboration with firms possessing AS9100 certification, ITAR compliance, and experience in low-volume, high-integrity production. Relationships are built on technical capability, supply chain transparency, and the ability to support long-term obsolescence management and engineering change control processes. Taylor’s procurement activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible industrial base to ensure technical superiority and supply continuity, rather than prioritizing socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally mandated in their portfolio, vendors of all sizes are evaluated strictly on technical merit, delivery performance, and sustainment capability. Their primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment), 334511 (aeronautical systems and instruments), and 336412 (aircraft engine parts), with additional activity in current-carrying wiring devices and air/gas compressor manufacturing. This reflects deep expertise in avionics integration, propulsion system sustainment, and electrical architecture support for military aircraft platforms.
