Alana Perillo

Alana Perillo serves as a secondary procurement professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Troop Support organization, supporting the acquisition of mission-critical logistical and operational infrastructure for U.S. military forces. Though not the primary contracting officer, she plays a vital role in facilitating the planning, solicitation, and administrative execution of high-priority contracts for specialized equipment, including climate control systems, deployable shelters, and engineered air handling units essential to field readiness. Her work ensures seamless alignment between operational requirements and procurement execution, contributing directly to the sustainment of deployed forces across global theaters. Perillo maintains consistent collaboration with a core group of established contractors, including WESTLAND TECHNOLOGIES, INC., ENGINEERED COIL COMPANY, ECI DEFENSE GROUP, INC., PIONEER INDUSTRIES, LLC, and AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade mechanical systems, thermal management solutions, and ruggedized infrastructure components. Her engagement pattern emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, technical compliance, and performance-based contract administration, often leveraging past performance data to inform source selection decisions. Her procurement activity reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of her associated acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. This indicates a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and mission necessity over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with DLA’s enterprise-wide emphasis on efficiency and scale in supporting large-scale logistical operations. Perillo’s primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 311999 — All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing — a classification that, while seemingly incongruent with typical troop support functions, reflects the acquisition of specialized food service equipment, thermal packaging systems, and deployable food preparation units integral to field rations and forward mess operations. Her domain expertise lies in the technical specifications of military-grade culinary and nutritional support infrastructure, ensuring compliance with DoD standards for durability, sanitation, and operational mobility.
