Adina Craig

Adina Craig supports the Defense Logistics Agency Maritime – Pearl Harbor in executing critical procurement operations essential to sustaining U.S. naval fleet readiness. Though her official title is not listed, her role centers on managing acquisitions of precision-engineered mechanical, electrical, and structural components for shipboard systems, including valves, seals, fasteners, wiring devices, and specialized metal fabrications. She plays a vital part in ensuring supply chain resilience by aligning procurement actions with DLA Maritime’s mission to maintain operational continuity for deployed naval forces. Her acquisitions typically involve complex technical hardware requiring stringent quality controls and compliance with military specifications. Craig maintains a procurement environment heavily oriented toward small business participation, with nearly 95% of her contracts set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a robust supplier base of small, qualified vendors capable of meeting the Navy’s demanding technical requirements. She consistently engages with 8(a), HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, fostering long-term partnerships that enhance competition and innovation while meeting socioeconomic contracting goals. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 332919 for other metal valve and pipe fitting manufacturing, followed by specialized areas such as gasket and sealing device manufacturing (339991), plastics product manufacturing (326199), and broadwoven fabric mills (313210). These categories reflect her technical expertise in sourcing mission-critical components for fluid systems, electrical insulation, and structural integrity applications aboard naval vessels. She routinely evaluates technical submissions for compliance with MIL-SPEC and ASTM standards, ensuring acquired hardware meets the rigorous performance and durability demands of maritime environments.
