Mashia S. Owens

Mashia S. Owens serves as the Overhaul/Repair Control Stick Aircraft (UH-60) contracting specialist within the W6QK Acc-rsa under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing the acquisition and sustainment of critical maintenance and repair services for UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter systems. Her role ensures the operational readiness of Army aviation assets by overseeing the procurement of overhaul components, avionics upgrades, and structural repair services aligned with Army aviation modernization priorities. She handles complex, technical contracts involving aircraft subsystems, flight control mechanisms, and mission-critical maintenance logistics, directly supporting the agency’s mission to sustain high-readiness aerial platforms across the U.S. Army’s fleet. Owens collaborates with a diverse set of defense aerospace contractors specializing in aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services, including certified depot-level repair facilities and Tier 1 aerospace suppliers with FAA and military airworthiness certifications. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in UH-60 system sustainment, often engaging firms with Military Specification (MIL-SPEC) compliance and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) authorization. She maintains structured, performance-based contracting relationships that emphasize quality assurance, technical documentation, and lifecycle support. Her contracting portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, with no preference for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This indicates a focus on technical capability and mission-critical readiness over socioeconomic targeting, prioritizing proven technical expertise and certified maintenance infrastructure to ensure rapid turnaround and airworthiness compliance. Owens primarily procures under NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing) and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with additional focus on 334290 for avionics and communications subsystems. Her technical domain centers on flight control systems, hydraulic actuators, rotor transmission components, and digital cockpit integration for the UH-60 platform, requiring deep familiarity with Army Technical Manuals (TMs), Aviation Maintenance Regulations, and Army Aviation Logistics Support Systems.
