Staci Draney

Staci Draney serves as an Acquisition Program Manager responsible for leading complex procurement initiatives within the aerospace and defense sector. In this role, she oversees the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from market research and requirement development to contract award and performance management—ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical operational needs. Her portfolio centers on the procurement of specialized aircraft components and auxiliary equipment, requiring deep technical understanding of aerospace manufacturing standards and supply chain dynamics. Draney’s work is instrumental in delivering reliable, high-performance systems that support national defense and aviation infrastructure. While specific contractor names are not available, Draney consistently engages with a diverse ecosystem of suppliers, particularly those certified under small business programs. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaboration with vendors capable of meeting stringent quality, compliance, and delivery timelines inherent in aerospace manufacturing. She fosters long-term vendor partnerships built on transparency, performance accountability, and technical adaptability, ensuring that contract outcomes meet both operational and regulatory expectations. Draney exhibits a 100% commitment to Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, prioritizing full and open competition restricted exclusively to small businesses. This reflects a strategic dedication to expanding economic opportunity within the aerospace supply chain and ensuring that small manufacturers have equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. Her pattern of set-asides underscores a deliberate effort to cultivate a robust, resilient base of domestic suppliers capable of supporting critical defense and aviation systems. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—encompassing components such as avionics housings, flight control actuators, and non-propulsion engine subsystems. Draney possesses specialized expertise in technical domains requiring precision engineering, regulatory certification (e.g., FAA, DO-160), and just-in-time manufacturing capabilities. She consistently sources products that meet military and commercial aviation standards, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of aerospace supply chain challenges and technical specifications.
