Tyler J. Ouellette

Tyler Joseph Ouellette serves as a Contract Negotiator responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle of complex aerospace and electronic systems. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while negotiating terms that balance mission needs with fiscal responsibility. His portfolio primarily encompasses the procurement of specialized aircraft components, electronic assemblies, and mission-critical avionics systems, often requiring technical expertise in manufacturing standards and supply chain risk mitigation. Ouellette works closely with engineering and program management teams to define performance requirements and evaluate vendor proposals under FAR Part 15 procedures. While no specific contractor relationships are identified, Ouellette engages with a broad base of manufacturers and suppliers capable of meeting stringent defense and aerospace specifications. His negotiation patterns reflect a preference for established industrial vendors with proven track records in precision manufacturing, particularly those capable of supporting Just-In-Time delivery, configuration control, and ITAR compliance. He maintains a collaborative but rigorous approach to vendor evaluations, emphasizing technical capability, quality assurance systems, and past performance. Ouellette’s contracting activity shows a strong orientation toward open competition, with 86.5% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. However, he consistently supports small business participation, allocating 13.5% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate effort to foster competition among small manufacturers while maintaining readiness and scalability in the supply base, without reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific programs. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336413, where he procures other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, including avionics housings, flight control components, and mission system integrations. Secondary focus areas include printed circuit assemblies and other electronic components critical to aerospace and defense platforms. Ouellette’s expertise centers on high-reliability manufacturing, electronic system integration, and compliance with MIL-STD and SAE AS9100 standards.
