Jennifer DeWease

Jennifer DeWease serves as a secondary procurement contact within the Defense Logistics Agency’s DCSCO-P New Cumberland office, supporting the acquisition and sustainment of mission-critical office and industrial equipment essential to military administrative and logistical operations. She facilitates the procurement of printing systems, multifunction devices, and related machinery through lease, rental, and service agreements, ensuring continuous operational readiness across defense installations. Her role involves coordinating contract execution, vendor compliance, and lifecycle support for equipment critical to day-to-day federal operations, working closely with primary contracting officers to align acquisitions with DLA’s strategic supply chain objectives. DeWease maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including TRIDENT E&P, LLC, HARRIS TECHNOLOGIES INC, PARAGON ONE GROUP LLC, CYNERGY PROFESSIONAL SYSTEMS LLC, and ARCHIVE SUPPLIES INC. These partnerships are primarily centered on the provision of leased or rented office equipment, maintenance services, and consumables, reflecting a preference for long-term service-based vendor engagements over one-time purchases. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, service-level adherence, and equipment uptime, fostering stable vendor relationships grounded in performance-based contract management. Her contracting activity shows a strong preference for open competition, with 94.4% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on broad market access and value-driven sourcing. While small business participation is limited to 5.6% of awards, primarily under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5), her work remains aligned with federal socioeconomic goals through occasional inclusion of qualified small businesses in competitive solicitations. DeWease’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 532420 (Office Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing), which accounts for 83.1% of her activity, underscoring deep expertise in equipment leasing, service contracts, and managed print solutions. She also procures related services under NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers) and 333316 (Industrial Machinery Manufacturing), reflecting a technical understanding of integrated office systems, firmware support, and industrial-grade printing infrastructure. Her domain expertise centers on sustaining mission-critical administrative equipment through lifecycle management and vendor-supported maintenance frameworks.
