Tammy Nottingham

Tammy Nottingham serves as the primary contracting lead for the Georgia Defense Logistics Agency Aviation at Warner Robins, where she oversees the acquisition of mission-critical avionics, aircraft subsystems, and specialized components essential to sustaining U.S. military aviation platforms including the C-5, B-52H, and RQ-4 Global Hawk. Her role is central to ensuring operational readiness through the timely procurement of high-integrity, defense-certified parts that support modernization initiatives and legacy system sustainment. She manages complex, technical acquisitions under FAR and DFARS frameworks, focusing on sole-source and competitive contracts for advanced electronic systems requiring rigorous qualification and compliance with military specifications. Nottingham maintains consistent, long-term partnerships with prime defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, L3Harris Technologies, Inc., and Raytheon Company, all of which are key suppliers of integrated avionics, radar systems, and mission-critical electronic modules. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and supply chain resilience, often leveraging existing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and contract vehicles to streamline procurement cycles for time-sensitive aviation sustainment requirements. Nottingham’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. This indicates a deliberate emphasis on technical capability and mission-critical reliability over socioeconomic classifications, with no reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other small business set-asides. Her contracting patterns prioritize access to the most qualified industrial base capable of meeting stringent DoD quality and certification standards. Her primary procurement focus is squarely on NAICS 336413 — Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing — encompassing flight control systems, sensor suites, communication modules, and other embedded aviation electronics. She specializes in procuring components that interface with legacy and next-generation aircraft architectures, requiring deep technical understanding of MIL-STD, RTCA DO-160, and other aerospace certification standards.
