Geraldine Sanders

Geraldine Sanders supports the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land and Maritime mission by managing critical procurement activities for mechanical, electrical, and fabricated metal components essential to naval, land, and expeditionary systems. She handles complex acquisitions of industrial valves, sealing devices, power transmission equipment, and ordnance accessories that sustain the operational readiness of military platforms. Her work ensures the timely delivery of high-performance parts to maintain mission-critical vehicles, ships, and defense systems, aligning with DLA’s mandate to provide global logistics support through reliable supply chain solutions. She maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including TRIMAN INDUSTRIES INC, ECI DEFENSE GROUP, ITL LLC, KAMPI COMPONENTS CO INC, and ASRC FEDERAL FACILITIES LOGISTICS, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized manufacturers with proven capabilities in defense-grade components, particularly in precision machining, ordnance systems, and industrial control hardware. Sanders prioritizes vendors with established technical expertise and quality assurance compliance, fostering long-term supplier reliability through performance-based contract structures and rigorous technical evaluation processes. Her procurement approach is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with approximately 90.9% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the specialized nature and mission-critical urgency of the components procured. The remaining 9.1% are allocated to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation where capabilities align with technical requirements. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 335911 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing) and 332994 (Small Arms and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing), with additional emphasis on 336390 (Motor Vehicle Parts) and 335314 (Relay and Industrial Control Manufacturing). She specializes in sourcing engineered components for armored vehicles, weapon systems, and propulsion subsystems, requiring deep technical understanding of military specifications, material standards, and supply chain traceability protocols.
