Stefanie J, Wiles

Stefanie J. Wiles serves as a Contracting Specialist responsible for managing complex acquisitions within the aerospace and defense technology sector. She plays a critical role in executing full lifecycle procurement activities, from requirement validation and market research to contract award and administration. Her portfolio centers on high-precision components and systems critical to national aerospace capabilities, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven delivery timelines. She routinely handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15, with a focus on technical specifications for aviation systems and mission-critical hardware. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Wiles maintains a robust network of industrial partners specializing in advanced manufacturing and aerospace engineering. Her working relationships are characterized by sustained engagement with Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers capable of meeting stringent military and aviation certification standards. She prioritizes technical capability, quality assurance, and supply chain resilience, often collaborating with vendors possessing AS9100 and ITAR compliance credentials to ensure mission readiness and regulatory adherence. Wiles demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 93.6% of her acquisitions issued as non-set-aside actions under FAR 19.5. The remaining 6.4% are awarded as Total Small Business Set-Asides, reflecting a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead favoring broad-based small business competition to maximize innovation and cost-effectiveness within her technical domain. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), which accounts for 83% of her activity, followed by 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing) and 334511 (Aeronautical System and Instrument Manufacturing). She specializes in procuring flight control components, avionics subsystems, and propulsion-related hardware, demonstrating deep technical fluency in aeronautical engineering standards and DoD technical specification requirements.
