Brooke Lamberton

Brooke Lamberton serves as a primary procurement lead within the Land Supply Chain under the Department of Defense’s DLA Land and Maritime, responsible for securing mission-critical mechanical and fabricated metal components essential to the operational readiness of military vehicles, weapons platforms, and support systems. Her role centers on managing full lifecycle acquisitions for high-reliability parts designed to withstand extreme operational environments, ensuring timely delivery of components that meet stringent military specifications. She routinely handles competitive solicitations under FAR and DFARS frameworks, with a focus on direct purchase orders, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, and blanket purchase agreements for precision-engineered hardware. Lamberton maintains strategic relationships with a broad base of industrial suppliers specializing in precision metal fabrication and fastener production. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with manufacturers possessing AS9100 and ISO 9001 certifications, emphasizing supply chain resilience and traceability. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industrial vendors with proven capacity to deliver certified components under tight lead times, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in quality assurance and just-in-time delivery protocols. Lamberton’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions awarded without socioeconomic preferences. This reflects a mission-critical emphasis on technical capability and supply chain continuity over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing performance, certification compliance, and production scalability above all other factors in source selection. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing), where she acquires custom-fabricated brackets, housings, and structural components; 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing) for high-strength fastening systems; and niche categories including gaskets and sealing devices (339991) and aircraft subsystems (336413). Her technical expertise spans metallurgy, tolerancing, and military-grade material specifications, ensuring all procured items meet MIL-SPEC and SAE standards for durability under thermal, vibrational, and corrosive stress.
