Regina D Patton

Regina D. Patton serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisitions within the aerospace and defense sector, with a primary focus on aircraft propulsion systems and auxiliary aviation components. She plays a critical role in ensuring timely, compliant, and cost-effective procurement of mission-critical engineering solutions, adhering to FAR and DFARS requirements. Her portfolio centers on competitive bidding processes for high-precision manufacturing contracts, often involving technical specifications for turbine components, flight control systems, and other aviation-grade parts requiring stringent quality assurance and supply chain integrity. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the dataset, Patton’s procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with Tier 1 and Tier 2 aerospace manufacturers capable of meeting AS9100 certification standards and defense supply chain security protocols. Her working relationships are characterized by a preference for established industrial suppliers with proven capabilities in precision machining, materials testing, and long-lead component production, often requiring technical evaluations and source selection under FAR Part 15. Patton’s set-aside activity reflects a strong orientation toward open competition, with 99.1% of her acquisitions issued as non-set-aside procurements. Only 0.9% are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and industrial base readiness over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains compliant with all small business participation requirements when applicable. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing) and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), demonstrating deep expertise in turbine engine components, fuel systems, and auxiliary power units. She routinely manages acquisitions requiring advanced metallurgy, FAA/EASA certification, and defense-specific reliability standards, positioning her as a specialist in high-integrity aerospace manufacturing procurement.
