Mayona Presley

Mayona Presley serves as a key procurement lead within the FA8118 unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing complex acquisitions to sustain and modernize critical aerospace systems. Focused on maintaining airworthiness for legacy and active-duty platforms—including the B-52, KC-135, E-3, T-38, and B-1—Presley oversees the remanufacture, overhaul, and limited new manufacture of high-integrity subsystems such as fuel pumps, actuators, servo-cylinders, and gearboxes. Her work ensures operational readiness through timely, compliant contract execution under FAR and DFARS guidelines, bridging technical requirements with industrial capacity to support long-term fleet sustainability. Presley maintains consistent partnerships with specialized aerospace contractors including MOOG MILITARY AIRCRAFT LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, TEXAS AEROSPACE SERVICES INC, AEROCOREX LLC, and UNITED DYNAMICS, INC. These vendors are selected for their proven expertise in precision machining, avionics integration, and certified remanufacturing of military-grade components. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical validation, and performance-based acquisition strategies to ensure reliability and traceability across the supply chain. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with 30% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 10% competed under the 8(a) program. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, Presley actively prioritizes socioeconomic contracting to expand the industrial base and foster innovation among certified small disadvantaged businesses. The majority of her acquisitions fall under NAICS 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, with a secondary focus on NAICS 336412 for Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing. She specializes in procuring mission-critical flight control components, hydraulic systems, and electro-mechanical assemblies requiring strict adherence to military specifications and aerospace quality standards.
