Nancy F. DeBerry

Nancy F. DeBerry serves as a C-130 Contracting Officer at the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), where she is responsible for managing the full lifecycle procurement of mission-critical aviation sustainment systems for the U.S. Coast Guard’s fixed-wing fleet, particularly the HC-144 Ocean Sentry and related C-130 platforms. Her role is central to ensuring operational readiness through timely acquisition of spare parts, avionics upgrades, maintenance support, and technical services that extend the service life of legacy aircraft. She executes complex contracts under FAR and DFARS guidelines, with a focus on logistics, engineering support, and systems integration for airborne platforms requiring rigorous certification and compliance standards. DeBerry maintains enduring relationships with key defense and aerospace contractors including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and AVIATRIX INC, who provide avionics, structural components, and integrated logistics solutions. She also collaborates with specialized service providers such as GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC, to deliver depot-level maintenance and supply chain support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term sustainment partnerships, and technical alignment with Coast Guard airframe requirements. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 82.4% of awards issued without set-asides, while maintaining a consistent 17.6% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though not heavily reliant on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, she actively engages qualified small businesses in niche technical support roles aligned with aviation maintenance and parts distribution. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), supporting the acquisition of non-engine airframe components, avionics subsystems, and auxiliary systems. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 488190 for air transportation support, demonstrating deep expertise in aviation logistics, parts obsolescence management, and technical data rights negotiation within the defense aerospace domain.
