Katelyn Reik

Katelyn Reik supports the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land and Maritime mission by managing complex procurement actions for critical mechanical, electrical, and fabricated metal components essential to naval, land, and expeditionary systems. She handles acquisitions for high-reliability parts including industrial valves, sealing devices, power transmission equipment, and ordnance accessories, ensuring the operational readiness of military platforms. Her work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—focusing on technical specifications that meet stringent DoD performance and durability standards. Reik maintains consistent contracting relationships with key suppliers such as Triman Industries Inc., ECI Defense Group, Inc., ITL LLC, Kampi Components Co. Inc., and ASRC Federal Facilities Logistics, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in precision manufacturing, defense-grade component fabrication, and logistics support for military environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, supply chain resilience, and long-term vendor performance, fostering reliable sourcing channels for mission-critical parts. Her procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly dominated by open, unrestricted acquisitions, with 97.1% of awards issued without set-asides. While small business participation is limited, she occasionally utilizes Total Small Business Set-Asides (2.3%) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Asides (0.6%), reflecting a measured but not primary emphasis on socioeconomic programs. Her focus remains on mission capability over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with DLA’s priority of assured supply over programmatic preferences. Reik’s technical domain centers on NAICS 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing), with significant activity in current-carrying wiring devices (335931) and switchgear manufacturing (335313). She procures specialized components including circuit assemblies, control panels, environmental control units, and semiconductor-based subsystems used in armored vehicles, shipboard systems, and field-deployable equipment. Her expertise lies in navigating the intersection of commercial off-the-shelf technology and military-grade ruggedization requirements.
