Jeremy Stokes

Jeremy Stokes serves as the primary procurement lead for the Asc Commodities Division within the Department of Defense’s Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, where he manages the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical and electrical components essential to the operational readiness of military aircraft. His responsibilities include sourcing high-reliability fasteners, bearings, wiring devices, and precision-engineered hardware that directly support the structural integrity and electronic functionality of avionics and airframe systems. He oversees the full lifecycle of competitive solicitations, from requirement validation through contract award and performance monitoring, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense-specific technical standards. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the dataset, Stokes engages with a broad base of qualified industrial suppliers capable of meeting stringent military specifications, including those certified to AS9100 and ISO 9001 standards. His procurement approach emphasizes technical capability, quality assurance, and supply chain resilience, favoring vendors with proven experience in defense-grade manufacturing and traceability protocols. He maintains a vendor ecosystem that includes both established defense subcontractors and specialized manufacturers with niche expertise in aerospace-grade components. Stokes demonstrates no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under open, unrestricted competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical suitability and supply continuity over socioeconomic criteria, consistent with the division’s mandate to prioritize performance and availability in time-sensitive aviation sustainment operations. His procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing) and NAICS 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing), underscoring deep expertise in fastener systems and mechanical hardware for aviation applications. He routinely procures certified aerospace fasteners, self-locking nuts, terminal blocks, and precision-machined hardware designed to withstand extreme environmental and operational stresses, ensuring compliance with MIL-SPEC and SAE standards.
