Katherine Woods

Katherine Woods serves as a primary contracting professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land and Maritime organization, responsible for executing critical acquisitions of mechanical, electrical, and fabricated metal components essential to naval, land, and expeditionary systems. She manages a diverse portfolio of procurement actions focused on sustaining operational readiness for military platforms, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical parts such as industrial valves, sealing devices, power transmission components, and ordnance accessories. Her work directly supports DLA’s core mission of maintaining global logistics readiness through reliable, high-performance hardware sourced under FAR-compliant processes. Woods maintains established 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 proven suppliers with demonstrated capability in precision metal fabrication, industrial component manufacturing, and defense-grade assembly. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance history, quality assurance compliance, and supply chain resilience, fostering long-term vendor collaborations that ensure continuity of supply for high-demand military parts. Her procurement activity is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 93.1% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a strategic focus on maximizing vendor competition and technical capability. While small business participation remains limited at 6.9%, it is consistently directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a measured but intentional commitment to small business inclusion without compromising mission-critical requirements. Woods specializes in NAICS-coded acquisitions centered on bolt, nut, screw, and washer manufacturing (332722), spring manufacturing (332613), metal stamping (332119), and gasket and sealing device production (339991). Her technical expertise lies in sourcing precision-engineered metal components used in armored vehicles, shipboard systems, and expeditionary equipment, requiring strict adherence to military specifications and material traceability standards.
