Anastasia Faber

Anastasia Faber serves as a primary procurement lead within the Maritime Supply Chain agency under the Department of Defense’s Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, where she manages mission-critical acquisitions of industrial components essential to naval and expeditionary systems. Her responsibilities encompass the end-to-end lifecycle of contracts for fluid control, electromechanical, and electrical distribution systems used aboard ships and submarines. She specializes in complex technical procurements requiring strict compliance with military specifications and supply chain resilience standards, ensuring the operational readiness of maritime platforms through timely and compliant sourcing of high-integrity components. Faber cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse pool of industrial manufacturers and specialized suppliers, primarily engaged in the design and production of fluid power systems, air and gas compressors, and precision pumping equipment. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with mid-tier industrial firms possessing AS9100 and ISO 9001 certifications, favoring vendors with proven track records in defense-grade manufacturing and just-in-time delivery capabilities. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical qualification, quality assurance, and supply chain traceability over price alone. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 75.9% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. Nevertheless, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 23.0% of contracts as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 1.1% to women-owned small businesses, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both competition and socioeconomic goals. Faber’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS categories 333996 (fluid power pump and motor manufacturing), 333998 (miscellaneous general purpose machinery), and 333912 (air and gas compressor manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in hydraulic, pneumatic, and electromechanical subsystems critical to naval propulsion, environmental control, and mission-critical fluid systems. She routinely procures valves, actuators, pressure regulators, and specialized pumping assemblies engineered to withstand extreme maritime environments.
