Jody Rodarmel

Jody Rodarmel serves as a Contract Negotiator responsible for managing complex procurement actions involving advanced aerospace and avionics systems. In this role, they lead the negotiation, evaluation, and award of contracts for critical defense and aerospace components, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical performance standards. Their work directly supports the development and sustainment of next-generation aeronautical systems, with a focus on technical precision, risk mitigation, and timely delivery. Jody typically handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions under FAR Part 15, often coordinating with engineering and program management teams to align contractual terms with technical specifications. Jody works with a select group of specialized manufacturers and Tier-1 suppliers in the aerospace sector, primarily those with proven capabilities in aircraft subsystems and mission-critical instrumentation. Their contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with robust quality assurance systems, AS9100 certification, and experience in defense-grade manufacturing. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, Jody consistently engages firms capable of rapid prototyping, low-volume high-reliability production, and systems integration for airborne platforms. Jody’s procurement activity is entirely focused on open competition, with 100% of awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical merit and performance capability over socioeconomic preferences, though small businesses are not excluded—they compete on equal footing based on technical evaluation criteria. There is no formal preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, indicating a mission-driven approach prioritizing capability and readiness over socioeconomic targeting. Jody’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and NAICS 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing). They routinely acquire flight control components, avionics interfaces, sensor housings, and auxiliary power units for military and civilian aircraft platforms, demonstrating deep familiarity with MIL-SPEC and RTCA standards governing airborne electronics and mechanical systems.
