Shalonda Davis

Shalonda Davis serves as the primary procurement lead for the Asc Commodities Division within the Department of Defense’s Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, where she oversees the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical and electrical components essential to the sustainment of military aviation systems. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for high-reliability fasteners, precision bearings, wiring devices, and other engineered parts that ensure the structural integrity and electronic functionality of aircraft. She plays a central role in aligning procurement strategies with operational readiness requirements, ensuring timely delivery of components that support maintenance, repair, and overhaul activities across the defense aviation enterprise. Davis maintains a broad network of industrial suppliers specializing in precision manufacturing and aerospace-grade components. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, her contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with certified manufacturers of ball and roller bearings, nonferrous die-cast parts, and specialized motor vehicle components adapted for aviation use. Her working relationships emphasize technical compliance, quality assurance under MIL-SPEC standards, and supply chain resilience, often requiring vendors to demonstrate traceability, lot control, and certification under AS9100 or ISO 9001. Her procurement approach prioritizes open competition, with 95.8% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions, reflecting a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. Only 4.2% of awards are directed toward Women-Owned Small Businesses, indicating a selective but intentional inclusion of qualified small businesses when their technical offerings align with stringent performance requirements. Davis’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332991 (Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing), where she sources high-tolerance, corrosion-resistant bearings critical to engine and rotor systems. She also procures components under NAICS 331523 (Nonferrous Metal Die-Casting Foundries) and 336390 (Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing), demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace-grade metallurgy, precision machining, and electromechanical subsystems essential to aircraft operational reliability.
