Helen Davis

Helen Davis serves as the primary contracting lead for DLA Land and Maritime, overseeing the acquisition of critical mechanical, electrical, and fabricated metal components essential to the operational readiness of naval, land, and expeditionary defense systems. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurements for industrial valves, sealing devices, power transmission equipment, and ordnance accessories, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical parts that sustain military platforms worldwide. She operates within the SPE7M1 contracting office, aligning acquisitions with DLA’s mission to maintain global logistics readiness through reliable, high-performance supply chain solutions. Davis maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of trusted contractors including TRIMAN INDUSTRIES INC, ECI DEFENSE GROUP, ITL LLC, KAMPI COMPONENTS CO INC, and ASRC FEDERAL FACILITIES LOGISTICS, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established suppliers with proven expertise in precision metal fabrication, fluid power systems, and aerospace-grade components. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance reliability, technical compliance, and supply chain resilience, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and basic ordering agreements to streamline repeat requirements. Her procurement patterns show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 92.5% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting a mission-driven priority for capability and availability over socioeconomic preferences. Nonetheless, she consistently supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to expanding vendor diversity where market conditions permit. Davis specializes in procurements governed by NAICS codes 332911 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing), 332999 (Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Products), and 332996 (Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing), with additional focus on 336413 (Aircraft Parts) and 333996 (Fluid Power Pump and Motor Manufacturing). Her technical expertise lies in sourcing components that meet stringent military specifications for durability, corrosion resistance, and operational reliability under extreme environmental conditions.
