VICTORIA BURCHAM

Victoria Burcham serves as a primary procurement lead within the Asc Commodities Division of the Department of Defense’s Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical and electrical components essential to military aviation readiness. Her responsibilities include sourcing high-reliability fasteners, precision bearings, wiring devices, and electronic components that ensure the structural and electronic integrity of aircraft systems. She executes full-cycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense-specific technical standards. Her work directly supports the operational sustainability of naval and air force platforms by securing components that meet stringent military specifications. Burcham maintains a broad network of suppliers specializing in defense-grade electronic and electrical subsystems, with no exclusive reliance on any single contractor. She engages with a diverse pool of manufacturers and distributors, prioritizing technical capability, quality certification, and supply chain resilience over vendor size or history. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding and technical evaluation, fostering a vendor ecosystem capable of delivering components compliant with MIL-SPEC and AS9100 standards. Her contracting patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued without set-aside designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical suitability and availability over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the division’s need for immediate, high-integrity components critical to fleet readiness. Burcham’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing), with significant activity in wiring device manufacturing (335931 and 335932) and lighting equipment (335139). She specializes in acquiring noncurrent-carrying connectors, circuit protection devices, and precision-engineered electrical interfaces used in avionics and flight control systems, demonstrating deep familiarity with aerospace-grade electronic component standards and supply chain logistics.
