Monique H. Swinson

Monique Swinson serves as a key procurement professional within the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) of the U.S. Coast Guard, under the Department of Homeland Security, where she supports the sustainment and operational readiness of critical fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft fleets, including the HC-130J, HC-144, and HC-27J platforms. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle acquisition of aircraft components, maintenance support services, and specialized technical training programs essential to maintaining airworthiness and mission capability. She manages complex contracts under FAR Part 15, often utilizing negotiated procurements to ensure technical compliance and timely delivery of mission-critical aviation parts and logistics services. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Swinson maintains a robust network of aerospace and aviation logistics vendors, including manufacturers of auxiliary aircraft equipment and support service providers with deep expertise in military aviation maintenance. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven track records in defense-grade component production and FAA-compliant repair processes. She consistently engages with vendors capable of meeting stringent military specifications and rapid turnaround requirements for in-theater support. Swinson demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 24.1% of her acquisitions set aside for total small business concerns under FAR 19.5. While no specific socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are dominant, her portfolio consistently prioritizes small business eligibility, aligning with ALC’s broader goal of fostering a resilient supplier base. Her contracting approach balances mission necessity with federal socioeconomic mandates. Her procurement focus is overwhelmingly centered on NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—reflecting deep expertise in sourcing specialized avionics, structural components, and mission system upgrades. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 488190 for air transportation support, including maintenance, overhaul, and technical documentation, demonstrating specialized knowledge in military aviation logistics and sustainment engineering.
