Lucretia A. Gresham

Lucretia A. Gresham serves as an Acquisition Specialist responsible for managing complex procurement actions within the federal acquisition system, with a primary focus on aerospace and electronic component sourcing. She plays a critical 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 technical systems, particularly in aviation and defense-related electronics, where she balances operational readiness with fiscal accountability and regulatory adherence. While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns indicate a strong reliance on established manufacturers with proven technical capabilities in aeronautical systems and electronic components. She engages with a diverse base of vendors, including both large prime contractors and qualified small businesses, fostering competitive environments that promote innovation and supply chain resilience. Her approach emphasizes transparent solicitation practices and rigorous source selection criteria aligned with technical performance and past performance metrics. Gresham’s set-aside preferences reflect a predominantly open acquisition strategy, with 92.8% of her awards issued under non-set-aside conditions, indicating a focus on full and open competition. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating 7.3% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals without compromising mission-critical requirements. Her technical expertise is concentrated in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), where she procures specialized aviation components, followed by 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing) for mission-critical electronics. She also engages with niche suppliers in aeronautical instrumentation and sensing systems under NAICS 334511 and 334519, showcasing deep domain knowledge in avionics, guidance systems, and high-reliability electronic assemblies essential to national defense and aerospace operations.
