Benjamin L. Geringer

Benjamin L. Geringer serves as a Contract Specialist at DLA Land Warren, where he plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electro-mechanical components for U.S. ground forces. His procurement portfolio centers on sustaining armored vehicle systems, tactical transport powertrains, and combat support electronics, ensuring operational readiness across the Department of Defense’s land warfare enterprise. Geringer manages full lifecycle contract actions—from solicitation and source selection to award and administration—primarily under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement mechanisms, with a strong emphasis on technical compliance and supply chain resilience for high-reliability defense systems. He maintains sustained working relationships with key industrial partners including ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, OSHKOSH DEFENSE LLC, RENK AMERICA LLC, SCI TECHNOLOGY, INC, and VAREC NV, reflecting a preference for established defense contractors with proven expertise in advanced drivetrain systems, armored component manufacturing, and mission-critical electronic subsystems. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical validation, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering collaborative partnerships that align with DLA’s sustainment objectives. Geringer’s contracting patterns reflect a strong orientation toward open competition, with 93.3% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on maximizing technical capability and industrial base efficiency. While small business participation is limited at 6.7%, it is strategically targeted through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, prioritizing firms with specialized engineering capabilities rather than socioeconomic categories. His primary NAICS focus includes 336310 for motor vehicle engine and powertrain components, 561210 for facilities support services critical to maintenance operations, and niche categories such as 334310 for specialized electronics and 325998 for mission-specific chemical formulations. This technical breadth underscores his expertise in procuring complex, integrated systems that support the survivability and mobility of armored and tactical ground platforms.
