Jessica Martin

Jessica Martin supports the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) of the U.S. Coast Guard in managing critical procurement activities that ensure the operational readiness of the Coast Guard’s rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft fleet. She oversees the acquisition of mission-critical aviation components, maintenance support services, and avionics sustainment solutions, aligning procurement decisions with the agency’s strategic goal of extending the service life of legacy platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry. Her work directly enables the ALC’s core mission of sustaining airworthiness through timely, compliant, and technically sound contracting actions. Martin maintains longstanding relationships with key industry partners including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and AVIATRIX INC, who provide advanced avionics, structural components, and logistics integration services. She also engages with specialized providers like GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC, for depot-level maintenance support and Quality Biological, Inc., for niche aviation system support. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term sustainment partnerships with vendors possessing deep technical expertise in military aviation systems. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 89.5% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. While small business participation is limited to 10.5%, it is strategically targeted toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate but measured commitment to expanding small business involvement without compromising mission-critical performance requirements. Martin’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 for other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, followed by 488190 for air transportation support activities. She routinely acquires custom-engineered avionics, flight control systems, and maintenance logistics solutions, demonstrating specialized expertise in aerospace sustainment, systems integration, and technical service procurement within the defense aviation domain.
