Mariam Alavinejad

Mariam A. Alavinejad serves as a procurement professional specializing in aerospace and technical services acquisitions, playing a critical role in advancing national defense and aviation capabilities. She manages complex contract actions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on high-precision engineering and mission-critical support services. Her portfolio centers on the development and sustainment of aircraft propulsion systems, auxiliary aviation components, and specialized technical services, ensuring alignment with operational readiness requirements. She works closely with engineering teams and program managers to translate technical specifications into solicitation requirements and award strategies. Her contractor relationships are primarily with manufacturers and technical service providers operating in the aerospace supply chain, including Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers of aircraft engine components and avionics systems. While no single vendor dominates her award history, she consistently engages with firms possessing AS9100 certification and DOD supply chain credentials, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in quality compliance and performance accountability. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding and technical evaluation to ensure value and reliability. Mariam demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 77.8% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, dedicating 22.2% of her awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to maximizing competition while creating meaningful opportunities for qualified small businesses across the aerospace and professional services sectors. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing) and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in propulsion systems, turbine components, and flight-critical hardware. She also regularly procures technical services under NAICS 541990, including engineering analysis, systems integration, and compliance testing. Her domain expertise spans advanced materials, propulsion lifecycle management, and defense aviation sustainment.
