Shanise Mingledolph

Shanise Mingledolph serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Aerospace Energy office (SPE601), responsible for securing critical energy and gas supply chains essential to Department of Defense operational readiness. Her work centers on the acquisition of high-purity industrial gases—including aviator breathing oxygen, liquid oxygen, and liquid nitrogen—as well as rocket-grade propellants and specialized storage and logistics infrastructure. She manages complex, mission-critical contracts that demand strict compliance with military specifications and safety standards, ensuring uninterrupted fuel and life-support systems for aerospace platforms and defense operations. Mingledolph maintains long-standing relationships with leading industrial gas suppliers, most notably Airgas USA, LLC, Okano, K.K., and Tohsan Co., Ltd., reflecting a preference for established, technically certified vendors with proven capability in aerospace-grade gas production and hazardous material logistics. Her contracting patterns emphasize reliability, regulatory compliance, and supply chain resilience over competitive bidding, often resulting in sole-source or limited-source awards to vendors with unique expertise in military-specification gas purification and cryogenic handling. Her procurement activities show no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and supply continuity over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with the critical nature of the end-use applications. Her primary focus lies within NAICS 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing), where she procures specialized gases and associated infrastructure requiring stringent purity controls, pressure-rated containment systems, and hazardous material transport certification. Her domain expertise spans cryogenics, gas purity standards, and defense-grade logistics, making her a pivotal figure in sustaining the operational integrity of air and space platforms reliant on mission-critical energy inputs.
