Kevin A. Sonnenfeld

Kevin Sonnenfeld serves as a Contract Specialist at DLA Land Warren, where he plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electro-mechanical components for U.S. Army and Marine Corps ground combat platforms. His procurement responsibilities center on sustaining the operational readiness of armored vehicles, tactical transport systems, and combat support equipment through the acquisition of high-reliability transmission systems, powertrain assemblies, and embedded electronic subsystems. He manages the full lifecycle of complex defense contracts under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring timely delivery of components that meet stringent military performance and durability standards. Sonnenfeld maintains longstanding relationships with key defense industrial base partners including ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, OSHKOSH DEFENSE LLC, RENK AMERICA LLC, SCI TECHNOLOGY, INC, and VAREC NV. These partnerships reflect a focus on Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers with proven expertise in military-grade powertrain engineering, electro-mechanical integration, and ruggedized component manufacturing. His contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, supply chain resilience, and long-term vendor collaboration to support sustained operational deployments. His procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly dominated by open, non-set-aside acquisitions, with only 1.2% of awards designated for small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a primary reliance on established industrial contractors with specialized defense capabilities. While socioeconomic set-asides are infrequent, his work ensures that small business participation aligns with technical necessity rather than quota-driven targets. Sonnenfeld’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 326211 (Tire Manufacturing), reflecting the critical need for heavy-duty, military-spec tires for armored and off-road vehicles. Secondary emphasis is placed on NAICS 336350 (Motor Vehicle Transmission and Power Train Parts Manufacturing), underscoring his technical expertise in drivetrain systems. His domain knowledge spans high-torque transmission assemblies, hybrid powertrain components, and mission-critical electro-mechanical interfaces essential to modern land warfare platforms.
