Damaris Figueroa

Damaris Figueroa serves as a procurement specialist within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Troop Support organization, supporting the acquisition of critical logistical and operational infrastructure essential to military readiness. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for specialized equipment and supply systems, with a focus on climate control, air handling, deployable containers, and medical logistics solutions. She ensures compliance with DoD procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with troop welfare and field operational requirements, acting as a key liaison between technical stakeholders and vendor communities to deliver mission-critical capabilities on schedule and within policy. Figueroa maintains established relationships with leading contractors including WESTLAND TECHNOLOGIES, INC., ENGINEERED COIL COMPANY, ECI DEFENSE GROUP, INC., AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, and JOHNSON CONTROLS NAVY SYSTEMS, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, high-capacity vendors capable of delivering durable, military-grade systems under stringent performance and certification standards. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor reliability, technical compliance, and supply chain resilience, often resulting in repeat engagements with contractors who demonstrate consistent quality and responsiveness to operational demands. Figueroa’s procurement portfolio is entirely open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing the most qualified suppliers regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, she ensures all solicitations are transparent, competitively structured, and aligned with federal acquisition regulations. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS codes related to food manufacturing and medical supply distribution—specifically Fluid Milk Manufacturing, Commercial Bakeries, and Medical Equipment Wholesalers—indicating a unique alignment with subsistence, nutritional support, and medical logistics systems for deployed forces. This suggests deep expertise in procuring perishable food systems, climate-controlled storage solutions, and specialized medical supply chains critical to sustaining troop health in austere environments.
