Joshua M. Stoddard

Joshua M. Stoddard serves as a key procurement lead at the U.S. Coast Guard’s Aviation Logistics Center, where he manages the acquisition of mission-critical aviation systems and sustainment components to ensure operational readiness of rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft. His responsibilities encompass end-to-end contracting for avionics, aircraft parts, and maintenance support services, with a focus on extending the service life of legacy platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry. Stoddard’s portfolio centers on complex technical acquisitions requiring deep domain expertise in aerospace logistics, ensuring compliance with defense acquisition regulations and lifecycle sustainment strategies. He maintains established relationships with major defense and aerospace contractors including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and AVIATRIX INC, partnering with firms capable of delivering high-reliability avionics, flight systems, and integrated logistics support. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term sustainment partnerships with vendors possessing specialized technical certifications and proven track records in military aviation maintenance, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and performance-based service contracts to ensure responsive support. Stoddard’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 85% of awards issued without set-asides. Nevertheless, he consistently allocates 15% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to fostering small business participation in aerospace sustainment markets without compromising mission-critical performance standards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 for other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, with significant activity in 336412 for engine components and 334511 for airborne navigation and guidance systems. He routinely procures mission-critical items such as flight control modules, sensor suites, and communication subsystems, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with aviation logistics, avionics modernization, and aircraft system integration within the Coast Guard’s unique operational environment.
