Wade H. Boyce

Wade Boyce serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Aviation Logistics Center, where he manages critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize the Coast Guard’s rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft fleet. His responsibilities center on ensuring the continuous availability of mission-critical aviation systems through strategic sourcing of parts, avionics, and maintenance support services. He routinely handles complex contract actions under FAR Part 15, with a focus on technical specifications for legacy platform sustainment, including the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry. His work directly supports operational readiness by bridging engineering requirements with acquisition execution to extend service life and maintain airworthiness standards. Boyce maintains longstanding relationships with leading aerospace and logistics contractors, including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC. He frequently engages with vendors specializing in avionics integration, structural component repair, and supply chain logistics for military aircraft. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based service agreements and long-term sustainment contracts that prioritize reliability, traceability, and lifecycle support over transactional procurement. His procurement patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of all awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While no set-aside programs dominate, his consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate strategy to foster competition and expand the industrial base supporting Coast Guard aviation. He actively seeks qualified small manufacturers and service providers capable of meeting stringent military aviation standards. Boyce’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in sourcing specialized components, repair kits, and auxiliary systems. He also frequently procures services under NAICS 488190 for air transportation support, including maintenance, overhaul, and logistics coordination. His technical domain centers on aviation sustainment engineering, with a strong emphasis on compliance with military specifications and airworthiness certification requirements.
