Terrie L. Pickard

Terrie L. Pickard serves as a secondary procurement specialist supporting the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) of the U.S. Coast Guard, playing a critical role in sustaining the agency’s rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft fleets. She supports the acquisition of mission-critical aviation components, avionics sustainment systems, and technical support services essential to maintaining operational readiness. Her work centers on ensuring the continuous availability of spare parts, maintenance kits, and modernization upgrades for legacy platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry. Pickard operates within a complex acquisition environment requiring deep technical knowledge of aviation logistics and compliance with federal procurement regulations. She maintains established working relationships with key contractors including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, AVIATRIX INC, and GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC, primarily engaging them for the procurement of aircraft subsystems, maintenance support, and technical services. Her contracting patterns reflect long-term, performance-based partnerships focused on reliability, lifecycle support, and rapid response to fleet maintenance demands. These relationships are characterized by recurring requirements and contract modifications that address evolving operational needs. Pickard’s procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly dominated by non-set-aside acquisitions, with 95.8% of awards issued without socioeconomic preferences. Small business participation is minimal, with only 3.3% allocated to total small business set-asides and 1.0% to 8(a) competed contracts, indicating a primary focus on mission-critical capability over socioeconomic objectives. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting a deep specialization in sourcing avionics, flight control components, and support equipment. She also frequently procures services under NAICS 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), demonstrating expertise in logistics, maintenance, and technical sustainment for military aviation systems.
