Erica Hemphill

Erica Hemphill serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land and Maritime organization, supporting the acquisition of critical mechanical, electrical, and fabricated metal components essential to the operational readiness of naval, land, and expeditionary military systems. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts for industrial valves, sealing devices, power transmission equipment, and ordnance accessories, ensuring the sustained functionality of combat vehicles, ships, and tactical platforms. Her work directly enables mission-critical logistics readiness by securing high-performance parts under FAR-compliant acquisition strategies tailored to complex defense supply chain requirements. She maintains consistent working relationships with core contractors including TRIMAN INDUSTRIES INC, ECI DEFENSE GROUP, ITL LLC, KAMPI COMPONENTS CO INC, and ASRC FEDERAL FACILITIES LOGISTICS, LLC—firms known for their expertise in precision manufacturing, defense-grade component fabrication, and logistics integration. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and long-term vendor collaboration, often leveraging blanket purchase agreements and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts to ensure continuous supply of mission-essential parts. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, she consistently facilitates approximately 28% of awards through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to fostering small business participation without relying on specialized socioeconomic programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced emphasis on capability and capacity over socioeconomic designation. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS categories 336310 and 333618, where she procures engine components and auxiliary power equipment, alongside significant activity in 333995 for fluid power actuators and 334118 for specialized computer peripherals used in military systems. Her domain expertise centers on mechanical systems integration, ensuring that procured parts meet stringent MIL-SPEC and military environmental standards.
