Tracey L Burgess

Tracey L. Burgess serves as a key procurement professional within the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) of the U.S. Coast Guard, responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical aviation parts and sustainment services that ensure the operational readiness of Coast Guard rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to extend the service life of legacy platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry through timely and technically rigorous contracting. She primarily handles complex acquisitions under NAICS 336413, focusing on avionics components, auxiliary equipment, maintenance support systems, and specialized aircraft parts requiring stringent certification and quality assurance protocols. Burgess maintains longstanding relationships with Tier-1 aerospace and defense contractors including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC, partnering with firms capable of delivering certified aviation components, technical data packages, and integrated logistics support. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical compliance, and supply chain resilience, often involving long-term service agreements and performance-based logistics contracts to ensure continuous aircraft availability. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 97.8% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, indicating a focus on capability-driven sourcing rather than socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is minimal at 2.2%, it is consistently directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, aligning with mission-critical needs over socioeconomic targets. Her technical domain expertise centers exclusively on Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (NAICS 336413), where she procures specialized avionics, flight control systems, structural components, and sustainment kits requiring FAA and military certification. She works closely with engineering and maintenance teams to translate technical requirements into enforceable contract specifications, ensuring compliance with military and aviation safety standards.
