Kimberly Noles

Kimberly Noles serves as a key procurement professional within the Georgia Defense Logistics Agency Aviation at Warner Robins, supporting the sustainment and modernization of critical U.S. military aviation systems. She manages complex acquisitions for advanced avionics, mission-critical electronic subsystems, and high-integrity aircraft components used on strategic platforms including the C-5, B-52H, and RQ-4 Global Hawk. Her work directly enables operational readiness by ensuring the timely delivery of mission-essential parts that maintain the integrity and capability of legacy and next-generation aerospace systems. Noles specializes in full lifecycle contract management for technically demanding aerospace hardware, with a focus on compliance with defense acquisition regulations and technical specifications for flight-critical systems. She maintains longstanding partnerships with prime defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, L3Harris Technologies, Inc., and Raytheon Company, which serve as primary sources for integrated avionics, sensor suites, and navigation systems. These relationships are characterized by long-term contract performance, technical collaboration, and rigorous quality assurance protocols. Noles routinely engages these vendors through competitive and sole-source mechanisms to address urgent sustainment needs and technology refresh cycles, ensuring seamless integration of upgraded components into existing fleet architectures. Noles’s procurement portfolio is entirely composed of full and open competitions, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects a mission-driven focus on securing the highest-performance, flight-certified components from industry leaders with proven capability to meet stringent military specifications, rather than socioeconomic preferences. Her acquisitions are exclusively categorized under NAICS 334511, focusing on the design, manufacturing, and integration of aeronautical navigation, guidance, and control systems. She specializes in procuring radar modules, digital signal processors, flight control computers, and other high-reliability electronic subsystems essential to modern military aviation platforms, demonstrating deep technical fluency in avionics architecture and defense electronics supply chains.
