Lynn Dodds

Lynn Dodds serves as an Acquisition Specialist responsible for managing complex procurement actions within the defense and aerospace supply chain. She executes full lifecycle contracting activities—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific acquisition policies. Her work supports critical national security systems by securing advanced aerospace components and precision-engineered subsystems, often requiring technical evaluation and source selection under competitive and sole-source authorities. Dodds plays a pivotal role in aligning acquisition strategy with operational readiness goals, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical hardware and technical services. While specific contractor names are not available, Dodds routinely engages with Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers specializing in aircraft propulsion systems, avionics integration, and precision-fabricated components. Her procurement patterns reflect deep collaboration with manufacturers possessing AS9100 certification and defense supply chain credentials. She favors established vendors with proven technical capabilities and robust quality management systems, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and multiple-award contract vehicles to streamline acquisition efficiency. Dodds demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 88.4% of her actions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, with nearly 10% of her awards directed to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, though smaller in proportion, reflect her deliberate inclusion of socioeconomically disadvantaged firms in high-value technical procurements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing) and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in propulsion systems, turbine components, and flight-critical auxiliary equipment. She also procures specialized wire products and electronic components used in guidance and control systems, demonstrating technical fluency in aerospace engineering domains and a keen understanding of supply chain resilience for defense applications.
