Ashley Hooper

Ashley Hooper supports the Defense Logistics Agency’s DCSCO-P New Cumberland office in executing mission-critical procurement activities focused on sustaining administrative and logistical readiness across military installations. Responsible for managing acquisitions of office and industrial equipment, Hooper oversees the lifecycle procurement of printing systems, multifunction devices, and maintenance-intensive machinery essential to daily operational functions. Their work ensures continuous access to reliable, high-performance equipment through strategic contracting aligned with DoD sustainment objectives, bridging technical requirements with federal acquisition regulations to meet mission-critical deadlines. Hooper maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including TRIDENT E&P, LLC, HARRIS TECHNOLOGIES INC, PARAGON ONE GROUP LLC, CYNERGY PROFESSIONAL SYSTEMS LLC, and ARCHIVE SUPPLIES INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in equipment repair, specialized printing solutions, and industrial maintenance services. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, service-level agreements, and long-term support contracts to minimize downtime and maximize equipment uptime across distributed military sites. While the majority of procurements (75%) are conducted without set-asides, Hooper consistently allocates 25% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding small business participation without compromising mission requirements. This pattern reflects a balanced strategy that prioritizes capability and reliability while fostering economic opportunity within the defense industrial base. Hooper’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 811210 and 811310 for electronic and commercial machinery repair, 322230 for stationery product manufacturing, 333310 for commercial machinery production, and 323117 for book printing. This technical specialization underscores deep expertise in procuring not just hardware, but integrated support ecosystems—including maintenance, calibration, toner supply chains, and document management solutions—essential to sustaining administrative operations in austere or high-demand environments.
