Angie Hernandez

Angie Hernandez serves as the primary procurement lead for the Maritime Supply Chain Esoc Buys under the Department of Defense’s DLA Land and Maritime, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical electronic and mechanical components essential to naval and expeditionary platform readiness. Her role centers on ensuring the reliable supply of high-integrity electrical connectors, passive components, and precision fluid-handling systems used in shipboard and submarine systems. She oversees the full lifecycle of solicitations, from requirements validation through contract award and performance monitoring, with a focus on technical specifications that meet stringent military standards for durability, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental resilience. Hernandez collaborates with a diverse base of suppliers, including specialized manufacturers of semiconductor devices, printed circuit assemblies, and switchgear systems. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing AS9100 and ISO 13485 certifications, prioritizing vendors with proven track records in defense-grade electronics manufacturing. Her working relationships emphasize technical alignment, supply chain transparency, and compliance with MIL-STD and J-STD requirements, fostering long-term partnerships with suppliers capable of meeting low-volume, high-reliability demand cycles. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 88.9% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, yet she maintains a deliberate 11.1% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balance ensures competitive pricing while actively supporting qualified small manufacturers capable of meeting complex defense specifications, particularly those with expertise in electronic assembly and component fabrication. Hernandez’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 334413, where she procures semiconductors and related devices critical to radar, communication, and navigation systems. She also regularly acquires printed circuit assemblies (334418), switchgear apparatus (335313), and electronic computer systems (334111), demonstrating deep expertise in the electronic subsystems that enable maritime platform survivability and operational continuity. Her domain knowledge spans military-grade electronics manufacturing, signal integrity requirements, and supply chain risk mitigation for mission-critical systems.
