Sally Meyer

Ms. Sally (Sara) Meyer serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisition programs within the aerospace and defense sector, with a singular focus on the procurement of other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment. Her role encompasses the full lifecycle of contract execution—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance oversight—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical readiness requirements. She plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement strategies with national defense objectives, particularly in sustaining airworthiness and modernization initiatives for military and government aviation platforms. Ms. Meyer cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse base of manufacturers and suppliers specializing in aerospace components, including precision machined parts, avionics interfaces, and non-propulsion subsystems. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with both large-tier defense contractors and niche suppliers possessing specialized technical certifications. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical competency, supply chain resilience, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in accountability and quality assurance. Ms. Meyer’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. This indicates a deliberate focus on technical merit and industrial capacity over socioeconomic categorizations, prioritizing mission need and product suitability above program-specific socioeconmic goals. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her processes remain fully compliant with all applicable small business participation requirements under FAR Part 19. Her primary technical domain centers on NAICS 336413, encompassing the procurement of non-engine aircraft components such as landing gear subsystems, flight control actuators, auxiliary power units, and specialized avionics housings. She possesses deep expertise in evaluating technical specifications, certification standards (e.g., AS9100), and supply chain traceability for critical aerospace systems, making her a key steward of aviation safety and operational reliability in government fleets.
