Jonathan Stanton

Jonathan Stanton serves as a key procurement lead within the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) of the U.S. Coast Guard, responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical aviation components and sustainment services to maintain operational readiness of rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft fleets. His role centers on ensuring the continuous availability of legacy and modernized aviation systems, including avionics, structural parts, and auxiliary equipment, through timely and compliant contracting actions. Stanton oversees the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from requirements validation and market research to contract award and performance monitoring—focusing on technical solutions that extend the service life of platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry. He maintains long-standing relationships with principal contractors including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, AVIATRIX INC, and GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC, all of which provide specialized aviation maintenance, overhaul, and technical support services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven capabilities in aerospace systems integration, parts manufacturing, and logistics sustainment, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and cost-reimbursement contract types to ensure responsive support for urgent operational needs. Stanton’s portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a prioritization of technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally encouraged through set-asides, vendor performance and past performance remain central to evaluation criteria. His procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—encompassing the acquisition of avionics components, flight control systems, maintenance kits, and mission-specific aviation hardware. His technical expertise lies in sustaining complex airborne systems through precision parts procurement and integrated logistics support, ensuring airworthiness and mission reliability across the Coast Guard’s aviation fleet.
