Jason Mills

Jason Mills serves as a key procurement lead within the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) of the U.S. Coast Guard, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical aviation sustainment services and components essential to maintaining the Coast Guard’s rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft fleet. His role centers on ensuring the operational readiness of legacy platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry through timely procurement of spare parts, avionics upgrades, and maintenance support systems. He manages full lifecycle contracting actions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on performance-based service contracts and logistics support agreements that align with the ALC’s strategic goal of extending aircraft service life and enhancing fleet reliability. Mills maintains consistent contracting relationships with industry leaders including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and AVIATRIX INC, partnering primarily with Tier 1 aerospace and defense integrators capable of delivering certified technical support, maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services. He also engages specialized logistics providers such as GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC, to ensure seamless supply chain execution for time-sensitive aviation components. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical certification, and long-term sustainment capacity over short-term cost savings. Mills’ contracting activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside profile, indicating a primary reliance on full and open competition to meet stringent operational requirements. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic set-asides, his portfolio includes established small businesses that qualify as subcontractors within larger prime contracts, ensuring indirect socioeconomic impact without compromising mission-critical performance standards. His procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), reflecting deep specialization in aviation logistics, parts provisioning, avionics sustainment, and aircraft maintenance infrastructure. He consistently acquires technical services involving flight control systems, mission avionics, engine component repair, and supply chain management solutions tailored to military aviation environments.
