Andrea Cline

Andrea Cline serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land and Maritime organization, supporting the operational readiness of naval, land, and expeditionary military platforms through the acquisition of critical mechanical, electrical, and fabricated metal components. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts for industrial valves, sealing devices, power transmission systems, and ordnance accessories, ensuring the reliability and performance of defense equipment in austere environments. Her work directly enables the sustainment of ships, vehicles, and fielded systems by securing mission-critical parts under FAR-compliant acquisition strategies, with a strong emphasis on supply chain resilience and technical specifications alignment. Cline maintains established working relationships with core contractors including TRIMAN INDUSTRIES INC, ECI DEFENSE GROUP, ITL LLC, KAMPI COMPONENTS CO INC, and ASRC FEDERAL FACILITIES LOGISTICS, LLC. These partnerships reflect a consistent focus on vendors with proven expertise in high-reliability manufacturing and defense-grade fabrication. Her procurement approach prioritizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical validation, and performance-based contract management to ensure compliance with military standards and timely delivery of mission-essential components. Her contracting patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 61% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 36.6% of awards to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 2.4% to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both efficiency and socioeconomic goals. Cline’s procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 332996 (Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing), with additional emphasis on plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors (238220), and other building equipment contractors (238290). Her domain expertise lies in procuring engineered metal components and system-level fittings critical to mechanical and fluid systems across defense platforms, requiring deep technical understanding of material specifications, tolerances, and military certification requirements.
