Lois A. Monroe

Lois C. Monroe serves as an Acquisition Specialist responsible for managing complex procurement actions within the aerospace and defense supply chain. She plays a pivotal role in executing full lifecycle acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and agency mission objectives. Her portfolio centers on high-precision components and subsystems critical to aviation systems, requiring deep technical understanding of manufacturing standards and quality assurance protocols. Monroe consistently applies sound acquisition strategy to deliver mission-critical capabilities while maintaining fiscal accountability and regulatory integrity. While specific contractor names are not available, Monroe engages with a broad base of industrial suppliers, including Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers specializing in aerospace-grade components. Her contracting patterns reflect collaboration with both large-scale industrial firms and small businesses capable of meeting stringent technical specifications for aircraft propulsion systems and auxiliary equipment. She maintains a results-driven, performance-based approach to vendor relationships, prioritizing reliability, traceability, and adherence to AS9100 quality management standards. Monroe’s procurement strategy is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 91.9% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. However, she actively supports small business participation, with 8.1% of awards directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach ensures competitive rigor while providing targeted opportunities for qualified small manufacturers capable of meeting demanding aerospace requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing) and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), accounting for 65.7% of her activity. She also regularly procures fasteners, bearings, and noncurrent-carrying wiring devices under NAICS 332722, 332991, and 335932, demonstrating expertise in mechanical and electrical subsystems integral to flight systems. Monroe’s technical domain expertise spans propulsion, avionics integration, and precision machining, positioning her as a key liaison between engineering requirements and industrial production capabilities.
