Donya Steward

Donya Steward serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Energy component, responsible for managing critical energy supply contracts that sustain global military operations. She oversees the acquisition of petroleum-based fuels and related logistics infrastructure under NAICS 324110, ensuring seamless delivery of refined fuels to Department of Defense installations and deployed forces. Her work directly supports DLA Energy’s mission to maintain resilient, secure, and responsive energy supply chains across all service branches, with a focus on strategic fuel procurement, contract compliance, and operational readiness. Steward maintains long-term contracting relationships with primary vendors including Qatar Fuel (WOQOD) and United Capital Investments Group, both of which provide essential fuel supply and distribution services under firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement arrangements. These partnerships are characterized by sustained performance, strict adherence to military specifications, and integrated logistics coordination across international supply routes. Her procurement approach prioritizes reliability and continuity over competitive bidding, reflecting the mission-critical nature of energy resupply in contingency and high-threat environments. Steward’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a focus on large-scale, mission-essential energy procurement where scale, global logistics capacity, and technical expertise outweigh socioeconomic set-aside considerations. While small business participation is not a primary driver of her award decisions, her contracts are structured to ensure full compliance with federal acquisition regulations and performance-based service requirements. Her technical expertise centers exclusively on petroleum refining and fuel distribution under NAICS 324110, encompassing the procurement of jet fuel, diesel, gasoline, and related storage and transportation systems. She possesses deep domain knowledge of military fuel standards, supply chain security protocols, and international fuel sourcing logistics, making her a pivotal figure in sustaining the Department of Defense’s operational energy independence.
