Trina A. Ingram

Trina A. Ingram serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing complex acquisitions within the aerospace and defense support sectors. She plays a critical role in ensuring timely, compliant, and cost-effective procurement of mission-critical aviation components and maintenance services. Her portfolio primarily involves full and open competitions under FAR Part 15, with a focus on soliciting technical proposals for high-integrity systems. Ingram’s expertise lies in navigating the intricacies of defense supply chain procurement, ensuring adherence to federal acquisition regulations while supporting operational readiness through reliable contract execution. While specific contractor names are not available, Ingram’s contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers specializing in aircraft subsystems and propulsion components. She routinely collaborates with engineering-driven vendors capable of meeting stringent military and aviation certification standards, including AS9100 and ITAR compliance. Her working relationships emphasize technical capability, quality assurance, and supply chain resilience, favoring vendors with proven track records in precision manufacturing and aftermarket support. Ingram’s procurement strategy is overwhelmingly oriented toward full and open competition, with only 8.2% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate alignment with mission requirements that prioritize technical specificity over socioeconomic preferences, though she maintains active compliance with small business participation goals when appropriate. Her approach demonstrates a balanced commitment to regulatory frameworks without compromising operational performance or technical fidelity. Her primary NAICS focus areas—336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing)—reveal deep specialization in aviation propulsion systems, flight control components, and auxiliary power units. She also procures commercial and industrial machinery repair services under NAICS 811310, indicating a need for sustainment and lifecycle support of ground-based aviation infrastructure. Ingram’s domain expertise centers on high-reliability mechanical and electro-mechanical systems critical to national aerospace operations.
