Aria Plewa

Aria Plewa serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding General’s office under the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing critical acquisitions that sustain operational readiness across naval and marine forces. Focused on maintenance, logistics, and mission-enabling services, Plewa oversees contracts for specialized equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, and technical training programs essential to expeditionary and garrison operations. Their work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure combat system reliability and force mobility through timely, compliant, and strategically aligned sourcing decisions. Plewa maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including MANCON LLC, GEMINI TECH SERVICES LLC, CHEMBLE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MICROTECHNOLOGIES LLC, and SAELIG COMPANY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in niche technical domains such as locker and storage system manufacturing, telecommunications support, computer facilities management, and professional development training. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor reliability, with recurring engagements indicating a trust-based, results-driven procurement culture. Plewa demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, allocating 50% of acquisitions to small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, while maintaining an equal portion of open competitions. This dual strategy ensures competitive market access for small businesses—including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB firms—while preserving flexibility for mission-critical needs requiring broader vendor participation. The approach reflects a deliberate effort to foster innovation and resilience within the defense supply base. Primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 337215 (showcase and locker manufacturing), 517810 (telecommunications), 541513 (computer facilities management), and 611430 (professional training). These categories underscore expertise in procuring durable storage solutions, secure communications infrastructure, IT operations support, and workforce development programs tailored to military technical standards and operational environments.
