Nya Currie

Nya Currie serves as a primary contracting professional within the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, playing a pivotal role in securing critical aviation components essential to the readiness and sustainment of U.S. military aircraft systems. Responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for high-reliability parts and auxiliary equipment, Currie ensures timely delivery of mission-critical subsystems that support aircraft operation, maintenance, and combat readiness. Their work directly aligns with DLA Aviation’s core mission of supply chain resilience and technical obsolescence management, focusing on complex procurements that require stringent quality controls and rapid logistics response capabilities. Currie maintains strategic relationships with a diverse base of industrial suppliers specializing in aerospace-grade manufacturing, particularly those capable of producing certified aircraft parts and precision-turned components under strict military specifications. While no single contractor dominates the portfolio, Currie consistently engages with qualified vendors possessing AS9100 certification, ITAR compliance, and the ability to support long-term sustainment contracts. Working relationships are characterized by collaboration on technical requirements, lifecycle support planning, and performance-based acquisition strategies. Set-aside preferences reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with 95% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. Nevertheless, Currie actively supports small business participation, allocating approximately 5% of contracting opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring eligible firms have meaningful access to aviation sustainment markets without compromising mission-critical requirements. The primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—encompassing flight control components, avionics housings, and engine accessories. Additional expertise includes precision-turned products (332721) and specialized ordnance accessories (332994), reflecting deep technical knowledge in aerospace manufacturing standards, material certifications, and defense logistics frameworks.
