Tiffani Perry

Tiffani Perry serves as a primary procurement lead within the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, where she plays a critical role in securing high-reliability aircraft components and subsystems essential to maintaining U.S. military aviation readiness. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of acquisition activities—from requirements validation and market research to contract award and performance monitoring—for mission-critical aviation parts. She specializes in procuring technical systems that support aircraft operation, maintenance, and environmental control, ensuring timely delivery of components that meet stringent military specifications and supply chain resilience standards. Her work directly enables the sustainment of legacy and next-generation platforms across the Department of Defense. Perry cultivates partnerships with a diverse base of manufacturers and suppliers, primarily focused on precision-engineered parts and industrial control systems. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms capable of meeting MIL-SPEC and AS9100 standards, particularly those with expertise in obsolescence management and reverse engineering of legacy components. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical capability, quality assurance, and supply chain continuity over volume-based sourcing, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on compliance and performance reliability. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 86.4% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, yet she maintains a meaningful commitment to small business participation—approximately 13.6% of her awards are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balance ensures access to innovative capacity while preserving competition and cost efficiency. She actively seeks qualified small businesses with relevant manufacturing certifications and technical expertise in aerospace-grade production. Perry’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment), 334519 (other measuring and controlling device manufacturing), and 334513 (industrial process control instruments), reflecting her specialization in avionics, sensors, actuators, and precision mechanical components. She routinely acquires items such as flight control actuators, environmental control units, and mission-critical fasteners, demonstrating deep technical fluency in aerospace systems integration and logistics sustainment.
