Tasha L. Pargali

Tasha L. Pargali is a procurement professional specializing in aerospace and aviation systems acquisition, with a primary focus on the design, development, and manufacturing of aircraft engines and related propulsion components. Her work supports critical national defense and aviation infrastructure needs, ensuring the timely delivery of high-performance, mission-critical engine systems and auxiliary equipment. She manages complex solicitations under FAR Part 15, often coordinating with engineering and logistics teams to align technical requirements with acquisition strategy, and routinely oversees contracts involving technical specifications for turbine components, fuel systems, and avionics integration. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open, unrestricted competition, with over 97% of awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. This indicates a strategic emphasis on leveraging the broadest possible industrial base to meet stringent performance and reliability standards in aerospace propulsion. While small business participation is limited, the 2.8% of set-aside awards are consistently directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, suggesting a measured but deliberate inclusion of qualified small manufacturers capable of meeting technical and scale requirements. Pargali’s procurement focus is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in turbine engine systems, combustion chambers, and high-temperature material fabrication. She also engages with NAICS 336413 for auxiliary equipment such as starters, governors, and control systems. Her work demands rigorous technical knowledge of aerospace manufacturing standards, including AS9100 and FAA certification protocols, and she frequently collaborates with Tier 1 aerospace OEMs and specialized subcontractors with certified production capabilities in precision machining and advanced materials. Her approach prioritizes technical excellence, supply chain resilience, and compliance with defense acquisition regulations.
