Geoffrey Feicht

Geoffrey Feicht serves as the primary procurement lead for the Land Supply Chain under the Department of Defense’s DLA Land and Maritime, where he is responsible for securing mission-critical mechanical and fabricated metal components essential to the operational readiness of military vehicles, weapons platforms, and support systems. His role centers on managing full lifecycle acquisitions for high-reliability parts engineered to withstand extreme environmental and mechanical stress, ensuring timely delivery of components that directly sustain combat and logistical readiness. He routinely handles competitive sealed bid and negotiated contracts for precision hardware and fabricated metal assemblies, aligning acquisitions with Defense Logistics Agency standards for quality, traceability, and supply chain resilience. Feicht maintains a broad network of industrial suppliers specializing in precision machining, metal fabrication, and component integration. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he engages with a diverse base of manufacturers capable of meeting stringent military specifications such as AS9100, ISO 9001, and MIL-STD-1394. His contracting approach emphasizes technical capability over volume, favoring vendors with proven experience in defense-grade production environments and robust quality control systems. He prioritizes long-term supplier partnerships that demonstrate agility, engineering support, and compliance with defense supply chain security protocols. Feicht’s procurement patterns reflect a strict preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead focusing on technical merit and production capacity as primary selection criteria. This reflects the agency’s operational imperative to secure components with proven reliability, where specialized manufacturing expertise often exceeds the capacity of small business vendors in this niche domain. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing) and 332996 (Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing), encompassing forged and machined fittings, valve bodies, structural brackets, and custom metal assemblies used in armored vehicle systems and field-deployed equipment. He possesses deep technical familiarity with metallurgical specifications, tolerancing standards, and non-destructive testing requirements critical to defense applications.
