Marcita Robinson

Marcita Robinson serves as the primary procurement lead for the Asc Commodities Division within the Department of Defense’s Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, where she oversees the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical and electrical components essential to the sustainment of military aviation systems. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for high-reliability fasteners, precision bearings, wiring devices, and specialized electrical components that ensure the structural integrity and electronic functionality of aircraft platforms. She plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement strategies with operational readiness requirements, ensuring timely delivery of components that support maintenance, repair, and overhaul activities across the defense aviation enterprise. Robinson collaborates with a diverse base of manufacturers and suppliers specializing in electronic and electrical subsystems, though no single contractor dominates her award portfolio. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industrial suppliers with proven quality control systems, including those certified to AS9100 and ISO 13485 standards. She engages with vendors capable of meeting stringent military specifications such as MIL-SPEC and SAE AS standards, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in technical compliance, supply chain resilience, and just-in-time delivery capabilities. Her procurement approach prioritizes open competition, with 89.9% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. However, she consistently allocates 7.1% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with smaller portions reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned and HUBZone firms, demonstrating a measured commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical performance requirements. Robinson’s technical focus centers on NAICS 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing) and 335311 (Power and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in procuring custom circuitry, signal conditioning modules, and power distribution components. She also manages acquisitions under 335931 for current-carrying wiring devices and 335999 for specialized electrical equipment, ensuring compatibility with avionics architectures and high-vibration environments typical of military aircraft systems.
