Jessica Robinson-Wiler

Jessica Robinson-Wiler serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), supporting the agency’s mission to sustain U.S. military readiness through the end-to-end management of aerospace and defense supply chains. She specializes in acquiring critical spare parts, precision metal components, and auxiliary equipment essential for maintaining legacy and active aircraft fleets, engines, and related systems. Her acquisitions span the full lifecycle of defense logistics, from initial sourcing to contract execution, with a focus on ensuring uninterrupted operational capability for combat-ready forces. She routinely handles complex, high-urgency procurements under FAR Part 13 and Part 14 procedures, often requiring rapid response to fielded system maintenance needs. Robinson-Wiler maintains a broad network of industrial suppliers, primarily engaging manufacturers of precision-turned components, fasteners, and fabricated metal products. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently collaborates with tiered supply chains that include both large industrial manufacturers and specialized fabricators capable of meeting military specifications such as MIL-SPEC and AS9100 standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, quality assurance, and supply chain resilience, fostering long-term vendor partnerships that prioritize just-in-time delivery and technical compliance. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 97.2% of awards issued under unrestricted solicitation. Only 2.8% are set aside for small businesses, primarily under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5), indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. She engages small businesses when their specialized capabilities align with niche manufacturing requirements, but prioritizes performance and readiness over set-aside classifications. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 332722 (fastener manufacturing), 336611 (shipbuilding and repair), and 333618 (engine equipment manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in aerospace and naval sustainment. She procures high-integrity components including bolts, nuts, precision-turned shafts, and engine subsystems, demonstrating specialized knowledge in metallurgy, tolerancing, and defense-grade material standards.
