Lacretia M Rogers

Lacretia M. Rogers serves as an Acquisition Specialist responsible for managing complex procurements within the aerospace and advanced electronics sectors. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s acquisition strategy by ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, conducting market research, and developing solicitation documents that align with technical and operational requirements. Her portfolio primarily centers on the acquisition of specialized aircraft components, avionics systems, and mission-critical electronic equipment, requiring deep technical understanding and rigorous source selection processes. Rogers is instrumental in translating mission needs into clear, competitive contract vehicles that support national defense and aviation modernization objectives. Her contractor relationships are predominantly with Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers specializing in precision aerospace parts and embedded electronic systems. While no single vendor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages with established defense contractors and niche suppliers possessing AS9100 and ITAR certifications. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical capability, supply chain resilience, and past performance evaluation, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who demonstrate quality control, timely delivery, and engineering expertise in high-reliability environments. Rogers maintains a strong preference for unrestricted competitions, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under the “No Set-Aside” category. This reflects a focus on technical merit and broad market competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with mission-critical requirements that demand specialized capabilities often found only among large or highly specialized manufacturers. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains fully compliant with all small business participation goals and encourages small business subcontracting where technically feasible. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413, encompassing the acquisition of auxiliary aircraft components such as flight control actuators, sensor housings, and electrical distribution units. Secondary areas include miscellaneous electrical components and advanced electronic systems used in navigation and guidance applications. Rogers brings deep domain expertise in aerospace systems integration, with a technical command over MIL-STD specifications, DO-160 environmental testing standards, and FAA certification pathways essential to her procurement decisions.
