Johanna Cruz Cruz

Johanna Cruz Cruz serves as a primary procurement lead within the ASC Supplier Operations AE and AF Division of the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, where she plays a critical role in sustaining and modernizing mission-critical aviation systems for U.S. military aircraft. Her responsibilities encompass the end-to-end acquisition of high-reliability components essential to aircraft operational readiness, with a focus on avionics, electrical subsystems, and airframe-related hardware. She manages competitive solicitations under FAR Part 15, ensuring compliance with defense-specific technical standards and supply chain resilience requirements for both legacy and next-generation platforms. While specific contractor names are not available, Cruz Cruz engages with a diverse pool of industrial suppliers specializing in precision-manufactured aerospace components. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense-industrial base vendors with proven capabilities in military-grade certification, including those holding AS9100 and ITAR registrations. She fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical rigor, quality assurance, and just-in-time delivery performance to support dynamic fleet sustainment needs. Cruz Cruz’s procurement portfolio is predominantly open competition, with 88.9% of acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside,” reflecting the technical complexity and specialized nature of the components required. However, she consistently allocates 11.1% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical performance standards. Her primary NAICS focus includes 334310 for avionics and electronic equipment, 332510 for precision hardware, and 332994 for ordnance accessories, underscoring her expertise in procuring mission-critical electrical, mechanical, and safety-critical components. She specializes in sourcing items requiring stringent MIL-SPEC compliance, ESD controls, and traceability systems, ensuring alignment with DoD aviation sustainment directives and lifecycle support requirements.
