Jeremy A. Wood

Jeremy A. Wood serves as the primary contracting lead for the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) within the U.S. Coast Guard, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical aviation sustainment systems. He is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracts supporting the maintenance, modernization, and operational readiness of Coast Guard rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft, including legacy platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry. His portfolio centers on avionics, aircraft parts, and auxiliary equipment procurement, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning with the ALC’s strategic goal of extending service life and enhancing fleet reliability. Wood maintains consistent partnerships with leading aerospace and defense contractors, including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and AVIATRIX INC, primarily for technical support, spare parts, and avionics integration services. He also engages with specialized logistics providers like GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC, to ensure just-in-time supply chain readiness. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term sustainment relationships with vendors possessing deep technical expertise in military aviation systems, prioritizing performance-based service agreements and technical data rights. His procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 83.8% of awards issued without set-aside designations. However, he actively supports small business participation, allocating 16.3% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both operational efficiency and socioeconomic goals. Wood’s technical focus is overwhelmingly on NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—reflecting his specialization in procuring airframe components, flight control systems, and mission-specific avionics. He also manages related support activities under NAICS 488190, ensuring seamless integration of maintenance, repair, and overhaul services critical to sustaining Coast Guard aviation readiness.
