Rebecca Farmer serves as a key procurement professional at the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), supporting the U.S. Coast Guard’s mission to maintain operational readiness of its rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft fleet. She manages the acquisition of mission-critical aviation sustainment services, including avionics modernization, spare parts procurement, and maintenance support for legacy platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry. Her work ensures the continuous availability of airworthy systems through timely contract execution and lifecycle support, directly enabling the ALC’s strategic goal of extending service life while integrating modernized components. She handles complex, technical acquisitions requiring deep coordination with engineering and logistics teams to align procurement with operational requirements. Farmer maintains longstanding relationships with principal contractors including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and AVIATRIX INC, which provide advanced avionics, maintenance systems, and integrated logistics support. She also collaborates with GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC for specialized maintenance and supply chain solutions. These partnerships are characterized by long-term sustainment contracts and performance-based service agreements, reflecting a preference for proven vendors with demonstrated expertise in military aviation systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and seamless integration with existing Coast Guard infrastructure. Farmer’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside preferences. This indicates a prioritization of technical capability and mission necessity over socioeconomic categorizations, aligning with the ALC’s need for specialized, high-reliability suppliers in a niche defense aviation domain. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, all awards are awarded based on merit, past performance, and technical fitness. Her primary acquisitions center on aerospace and defense logistics, including avionics overhaul, aircraft component repair, and technical data package management. She specializes in procuring certified parts, maintenance support services, and system upgrades for Coast Guard aircraft, demonstrating deep familiarity with military aviation standards, FAA and DoD regulatory frameworks, and supply chain traceability requirements.
