Helen Davis

Helen Davis serves as a primary contracting professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land and Maritime division, responsible for managing the acquisition of critical mechanical, electrical, and fabricated metal components essential to naval, land, and expeditionary military systems. She plays a central role in sustaining operational readiness by procuring high-performance parts including industrial valves, sealing devices, power transmission equipment, and ordnance accessories. Her portfolio encompasses complex technical procurements under FAR and DFARS guidelines, with a focus on ensuring supply chain resilience and mission-critical functionality across DOD platforms. Davis routinely handles competitive and sole-source contracts requiring rigorous technical evaluation and lifecycle support planning. She maintains strong, enduring 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 preference for established vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade fabrication, fluid control systems, and electro-mechanical assemblies. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based acquisition strategies, and consistent adherence to quality assurance protocols for mission-critical components. Davis demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 31% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, she actively supports socioeconomic programs, including limited but intentional use of service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, and women-owned small business set-asides, aligning with DLA’s broader diversity and resilience goals. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 332996 (fabricated pipe and pipe fitting manufacturing), 334514 (totalizing fluid meter and counting device manufacturing), and 334220 (radio and wireless communications equipment), reflecting deep expertise in fluid systems, precision instrumentation, and embedded electronics for military platforms. She specializes in sourcing components that demand strict compliance with MIL-SPEC and ASME standards, ensuring interoperability and durability in austere operational environments.
