Stacy

Stacy serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation at Oklahoma City, supporting the sustainment of U.S. military aircraft systems through the acquisition of critical aviation components and auxiliary equipment. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracts for non-standard and legacy aircraft parts, Stacy ensures the continuous operational readiness of Department of Defense airframes, propulsion systems, and avionics. Their work directly enables mission-critical readiness by securing high-reliability components that support both modern and aging fleet platforms, with a focus on supply chain resilience and technical compliance. Stacy maintains consistent contracting relationships with established defense aerospace suppliers, including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Aero International, LLC, and Thomas Instrument, Incorporated, alongside international vendors such as Intertrade Limited. These partnerships reflect a preference for proven suppliers with demonstrated capability in manufacturing and certifying aviation-grade parts under strict military specifications. The working relationships are characterized by long-term contract performance, technical collaboration, and adherence to defense logistics standards, ensuring timely delivery of mission-essential components. Stacy’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability and supply chain reliability over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing mission need and component certification over program-specific small business targets. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, vendors of all sizes compete based on technical merit, quality assurance, and delivery performance. The agency’s procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—indicating deep specialization in procuring non-airframe components such as actuators, sensors, control systems, and support equipment critical to aircraft maintenance and sustainment. Stacy’s expertise lies in evaluating technical compliance with MIL-SPEC and FAA certification standards, ensuring that all acquired parts meet rigorous aviation safety and interoperability requirements.
