Linda J. Stulick

Linda J. Stulick serves as a Purchasing Agent at the U.S. Coast Guard’s Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), where she plays a critical role in sustaining the operational readiness of the Coast Guard’s rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft fleet. She manages the acquisition of mission-critical aviation components, including avionics, engine parts, and auxiliary systems, ensuring timely delivery of spare parts and sustainment support for legacy platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry. Her procurement activities directly support the ALC’s mission to extend service life and maintain high mission availability through strategic sourcing, lifecycle logistics, and technical coordination with maintenance and engineering teams. Stulick maintains consistent partnerships with key defense and aerospace suppliers including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and AVIATRIX INC, as well as specialized industrial wholesalers like GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC. These relationships are built on long-term sustainment contracts and just-in-time delivery frameworks tailored to aviation maintenance cycles. She works closely with vendors to ensure compliance with military specifications, traceability requirements, and quality assurance standards for critical flight components. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 85.7% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting the technical complexity and limited supplier base for specialized aviation parts. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 14.3% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced approach between mission necessity and socioeconomic goals. Stulick’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with significant activity in avionics and flight control systems under NAICS 334511. She specializes in sourcing precision-engineered components for aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with aerospace supply chains and defense logistics protocols.
