Madeline Fretz

Madeline Fretz serves as a procurement specialist focused on advanced aerospace and electromechanical systems, managing complex acquisitions for mission-critical components within the defense and aviation sectors. Her role centers on ensuring timely, compliant, and technically sound contract execution for high-performance equipment used in national security and aerospace platforms. She routinely handles sole-source and competitive procurements under FAR Part 15, with a strong emphasis on technical evaluation, source selection, and contract administration for specialized manufacturing categories. Her work directly supports the agency’s operational readiness objectives by securing reliable, high-integrity components for aircraft and related systems. Fretz maintains collaborative relationships with a network of Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers specializing in precision-engineered aerospace subsystems. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing AS9100 certification and DOD ITAR compliance, prioritizing suppliers with proven track records in quality control and supply chain resilience. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance metrics and technical alignment, fostering stability in the acquisition of mission-essential parts. Fretz’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting a strategic focus on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing technical merit, production capacity, and supply chain reliability. This approach aligns with the critical nature of the systems she procures, where performance and certification standards outweigh socioeconomic targeting criteria. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), with significant activity in motor and generator manufacturing (335312) and fluid metering systems (334514). She specializes in sourcing flight-critical components such as actuators, engine control units, and auxiliary power system parts, demonstrating deep technical fluency in avionics integration, thermal management systems, and electromechanical control architectures.
