Christopher C. Rowe

Christopher C. Rowe serves as a Contracting Officer with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) under SP3300, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions that sustain the Department of Defense’s global supply chain. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on logistics support services, industrial maintenance, and specialized packaging solutions essential to the storage and distribution of defense materiel. His acquisitions ensure operational readiness by securing reliable warehousing, hazardous materials handling, and equipment maintenance capabilities across DLA Distribution’s network. Rowe’s work directly supports strategic priorities in supply chain resilience and standardized packaging for sensitive and hazardous items. Rowe maintains consistent contracting relationships with key industrial contractors including CONSTRUCTICON CORP, SOUZA CONSTRUCTION, INC., MARTINEZ SERVICES, INC., SDC TIDEWATER JV, LLC, and KINGSLEY BUILDERS, INC., reflecting a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in facility operations, construction support, and industrial service delivery. His contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor reliability, often leveraging firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement instruments to align with DLA’s mission-critical timelines and quality standards. While the majority of his acquisitions remain open to full and open competition (59.6%), Rowe demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 40% of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He actively facilitates opportunities for small businesses without favoring specific socioeconomic categories, maintaining a balanced approach that prioritizes capability and capacity over certification type. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to industrial machinery repair (811310), corrugated box manufacturing (322211), foam product manufacturing (326150), and miscellaneous electrical component production (335999, 335911). This reflects deep technical expertise in procuring packaging systems, maintenance services, and specialized industrial components critical to the safe handling and deployment of military supplies.
