Nicole Haynes

Nicole Haynes serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions within the aerospace and advanced manufacturing sectors. Her role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting processes for high-precision components and subsystems critical to national defense and aviation systems. She routinely handles competitive sealed bids, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, and performance-based service agreements, ensuring compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) standards. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to secure reliable, technologically advanced aerospace hardware while maintaining rigorous quality and supply chain integrity. While specific contractor names are not publicly identified, Haynes maintains a broad network of Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers specializing in precision-engineered parts, including turbine components, flight-critical avionics, and auxiliary propulsion systems. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established manufacturers with AS9100 certification and robust quality management systems. She engages both large primes and specialized small businesses, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical capability, delivery reliability, and compliance with defense industrial base standards. Haynes demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 90% of her awards issued under full and open competition. The remaining 10.7% are strategically reserved for small business categories, including Total Small Business, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and HUBZone firms—each receiving equal representation. This balanced approach ensures broad market access while maintaining competitive rigor and regulatory compliance under FAR Part 19. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), with significant activity in 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 332991 (Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing). She specializes in procuring mission-critical components such as turbine blades, fuel injection systems, and high-load bearings used in military and commercial aviation platforms, reflecting deep technical expertise in aerospace propulsion and mechanical systems engineering.
