Charlene Woods

Charlene Woods supports the Defense Logistics Agency’s Energy mission by managing critical procurement activities focused on energy infrastructure and technical services essential to sustaining military readiness. While her formal title is not listed, her procurement patterns indicate a central role in executing complex acquisitions for engineering, power generation, and distribution systems that underpin DLA Energy’s global fuel and energy supply chain. She handles a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning design, construction, and operational support for both conventional and alternative energy systems, ensuring compliance with DoD standards for reliability, security, and sustainability in austere environments. Her contractor relationships are primarily with firms possessing deep technical expertise in energy systems engineering, electric power generation, and grid infrastructure. She routinely engages with specialized engineering services providers, nuclear and renewable energy contractors, and utilities-grade infrastructure vendors capable of meeting stringent military specifications. These partnerships are typically performance-based, with emphasis on technical capability, safety protocols, and long-term operational support rather than low-bid models. Charlene’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-critical focus on technical proficiency and rapid deployment over socioeconomic preferences, though it does not preclude small business participation where firms meet the stringent performance and certification requirements of energy infrastructure projects. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), 221118 (Other Electric Power Generation), 221122 (Electric Power Distribution), 221113 (Nuclear Electric Power Generation), and 221114 (Solar Electric Power Generation). She procures turnkey energy solutions including microgrid installations, fuel distribution systems, power conditioning equipment, and integrated renewable energy assets tailored for forward-operating bases and strategic installations, demonstrating deep domain expertise in military energy resilience and modernization.
