Juline Tenorio

Juline Tenorio serves as a primary procurement lead within the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, where she plays a critical role in securing high-reliability aircraft components and auxiliary systems essential to U.S. military aviation readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisition programs—from market research and requirement definition to contract award and performance monitoring—ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical parts for aircraft engines, avionics, and support subsystems. Her work directly supports DLA Aviation’s mission to maintain supply chain resilience and mitigate technical obsolescence across legacy and next-generation military platforms, with a focus on rapid logistics response and sustainment of operational readiness. Tenorio cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse base of suppliers, primarily engaged in the manufacture of aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with specialized manufacturers capable of meeting stringent military specifications, including those with AS9100 certification and ITAR compliance. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for technical expertise over volume, favoring vendors with proven capabilities in reverse engineering, obsolescence management, and certified production of legacy components. Her procurement strategy demonstrates strong support for small business participation, with over 22% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and nearly 2.5% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. She actively leverages socioeconomic programs to broaden supplier diversity while maintaining performance standards, ensuring that qualified small businesses have equitable access to high-stakes aviation sustainment contracts. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 336413, encompassing the procurement of non-airframe aircraft components such as actuators, fuel system parts, and electrical control units. She also manages acquisitions in related domains including communications equipment and navigation systems, reflecting deep technical familiarity with avionics architecture and aerospace manufacturing standards. Tenorio’s expertise centers on sustaining complex, long-life-cycle systems through precise, specification-driven procurement practices.
