Renee Wood

Renee L. Wood serves as a Purchasing Agent at the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) under the Department of Homeland Security, where she plays a pivotal role in sustaining the U.S. Coast Guard’s aviation fleet. Responsible for end-to-end procurement of mission-critical aviation components, she manages contracts for avionics, maintenance parts, and auxiliary equipment essential to the operational readiness of rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft, including the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry. Her acquisitions directly support aircraft sustainment, modernization, and life-extension initiatives, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense logistics standards. Renee maintains long-standing relationships with key contractors including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and AVIATRIX INC, who provide specialized avionics, structural components, and integrated logistics support. She also collaborates with niche suppliers such as Quality Biological, Inc. and GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC, reflecting a balanced approach between large prime contractors and specialized vendors capable of delivering technical precision and rapid response. Her procurement patterns emphasize reliability, technical compatibility, and supply chain resilience for high-impact aerospace systems. While the majority of her acquisitions—88.7%—are conducted without set-asides, Renee demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with 11.3% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her approach prioritizes capability over socioeconomic status, yet consistently integrates qualified small businesses into the supply chain where their technical expertise aligns with mission needs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), accounting for over half of her portfolio, followed by 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation). She specializes in procuring legacy aircraft components, avionics upgrades, and maintenance support services, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with Coast Guard aviation sustainment requirements and defense logistics frameworks.
