Kyle Blazek

Kyle Blazek serves as a primary contracting professional within DLA Land and Maritime, responsible for managing the acquisition of critical mechanical, electrical, and fabricated metal components essential to the operational readiness of naval, land, and expeditionary military systems. He oversees the procurement of industrial valves, sealing devices, power transmission equipment, and ordnance accessories, ensuring timely delivery of high-performance parts that sustain combat platforms and logistics infrastructure. His role is central to DLA’s mission of maintaining global logistics readiness through reliable, mission-critical supply chain solutions. Blazek maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Triman Industries Inc., ECI Defense Group, Inc., ITL LLC, Kampi Components Co Inc, and Pioneer Industries, LLC. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contracts for specialized hardware and precision-engineered components. He frequently engages with vendors possessing deep technical expertise in military-grade manufacturing, emphasizing quality assurance, traceability, and compliance with MIL-SPEC and ASME standards. His procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 92% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides. While small business participation is limited, he occasionally utilizes Total Small Business Set-Asides (6.3%) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Asides (1.7%), demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals within the constraints of mission-critical requirements. Blazek’s technical focus centers on NAICS 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing), which accounts for nearly half of his portfolio, followed by 332994 (Small Arms and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing) and 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, and Washer Manufacturing). He specializes in procuring precision-fabricated metal components, fastening systems, and auxiliary equipment for armored vehicles, naval vessels, and expeditionary weapon systems, requiring deep familiarity with military specifications, material certifications, and defense supply chain protocols.
