Scottina Malia

Scottina Malia serves as a primary contracting professional within the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation at Ogden (SPRHA4), where she plays a critical role in sustaining the operational readiness of U.S. military aviation platforms, particularly the F-16 and KC-46 aircraft. She manages the acquisition of high-reliability aviation components spanning propulsion systems, power distribution networks, avionics, and airframe subsystems, ensuring mission-critical parts meet stringent DoD reliability and interoperability standards. Her portfolio focuses on complex, technically demanding procurements requiring deep engineering oversight and supply chain resilience for legacy and modernized aircraft systems. Malia maintains strategic relationships with leading aerospace and defense prime contractors, including Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. Aviation Group, Raytheon Company, Honeywell International, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and Meggitt Safety Systems Inc. These partnerships reflect a reliance on Tier 1 suppliers with proven expertise in certified aviation components, including flight control systems, electrical power conditioning units, and fire suppression subsystems. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical validation, and performance-based contract structures to ensure consistent quality and delivery under operational tempo. Her procurement patterns show a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for qualified small businesses in the aerospace supply chain. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, she actively facilitates small business participation where technical capability and capacity align with mission requirements. Malia’s primary NAICS focus areas include 335311 for power and specialty transformer manufacturing, 336419 for guided missile and space vehicle subsystems, and 335931 for current-carrying wiring devices. She specializes in procuring mission-critical electrical and electronic components that support aircraft power architecture, sensor integration, and safety systems, reflecting deep technical fluency in avionics, electrical distribution, and aerospace-grade hardware certification standards.
