Brenda S. Delawder

Brenda S. Delawder serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Distribution command, supporting the secure and efficient flow of critical military supplies through strategic contracting for logistics infrastructure and supply chain services. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on warehousing, packaging, and transportation systems essential to maintaining operational readiness across global defense networks. Her work ensures that defense materiel is stored, handled, and distributed in compliance with federal standards for hazardous materials and sensitive equipment, directly enabling DLA Distribution’s mission of sustaining military supply chain resilience. Delawder maintains strong working relationships with a core group of contractors including Constructicon Corp, Souza Construction, Inc., Martinez Services, Inc., SDC Tidewater JV, LLC, and Kingsley Builders, Inc., primarily engaged in facility operations, packaging line modernization, and logistics support services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in defense-compliant warehousing and infrastructure maintenance, often leveraging long-term performance histories to ensure continuity and reliability in mission-critical operations. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small firms in logistics and packaging sectors. While no specific socioeconomic set-asides dominate her portfolio, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a proactive alignment with federal goals to enhance vendor diversity and resilience in the defense supply base. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 493110 (General Warehousing and Storage) and 493190 (Other Warehousing and Storage), with significant activity in 322211 (Corrugated and Solid Fiber Box Manufacturing) and 541513 (Computer Facilities Management Services). She specializes in acquiring packaging solutions for hazardous materials, automated storage systems, and IT-enabled logistics management platforms, reflecting deep technical expertise in defense logistics modernization and supply chain digitization.
