Tiffany L Bentley

Tiffany L. Bentley serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisition programs within the aerospace and defense sector, with a primary focus on the procurement of specialized aircraft components and auxiliary equipment. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical capabilities to support national aviation and defense objectives. Her portfolio centers on full and open competitions and small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a balanced approach to market engagement and regulatory adherence. Bentley oversees the full acquisition lifecycle—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring technical requirements are met with fiscal responsibility and procedural integrity. While specific contractor names are not currently available, Bentley maintains a procurement pattern that emphasizes collaboration with manufacturers specializing in aerospace systems, including firms capable of producing non-standardized aircraft parts, avionics subsystems, and mission-critical auxiliary equipment. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on technical capability, quality assurance, and supply chain resilience, often engaging with vendors possessing specialized engineering expertise and certified manufacturing processes under AS9100 standards. Bentley demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns prioritize equitable access for small businesses without reliance on other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a preference for broad-based small business engagement grounded in capability rather than certification type. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively within NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—reflecting deep technical expertise in the design, production, and integration of non-airframe aerospace components. She routinely acquires items such as landing gear subsystems, flight control actuators, fuel system components, and mission-specific avionics housings, requiring specialized knowledge of military and commercial aviation standards, including DO-160 and FAA certification pathways.
