Sheila G Midgette

Sheila G. Midgette serves as a HH65 Purchasing Agent at the U.S. Coast Guard’s Aviation Logistics Center, where she plays a critical role in securing mission-critical aviation components and sustainment services to maintain operational readiness of the Coast Guard’s rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft fleet. Her procurement activities center on the acquisition of specialized parts, avionics systems, and auxiliary equipment essential for the longevity and reliability of legacy platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and service-specific logistics directives. Midgette maintains longstanding partnerships with key industry leaders including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and AVIATRIX INC, who provide high-integrity aviation subsystems, maintenance support, and technical logistics services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense and aerospace suppliers with proven track records in military-grade avionics and aircraft sustainment. These relationships are built on technical reliability, supply chain resilience, and compliance with stringent military specifications. Her procurement portfolio shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical capability and rapid sustainment over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing performance and availability in a high-stakes operational environment. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—where she acquires precision-engineered components, flight control systems, and mission-specific avionics. Her domain expertise encompasses aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) supply chains, with deep familiarity in military aviation logistics, configuration control, and technical data package management. She is a key enabler of the Coast Guard’s fleet modernization and extended service life initiatives.
