Larry Strohecker

Larry Strohecker serves as a key procurement lead within SPRMM1 DLA Mechanicsburg, operating under the Defense Logistics Agency’s Maritime division. He is responsible for managing the acquisition of high-reliability electronic, electrical, and mechanical components critical to U.S. Navy propulsion, control, communications, and power distribution systems. His work directly supports naval operational readiness by ensuring the timely delivery of mission-critical hardware through complex, technically demanding contracts. Strohecker specializes in sourcing precision instrumentation, wiring devices, and semiconductor-based subsystems, often requiring stringent military specifications and supply chain traceability under FAR and DFARS guidelines. He maintains consistent relationships with industry leaders including Electric Boat Corporation, Southwest Research Institute, Thales Defense & Security Inc., ECI Defense Group, Inc., and RFD Beaufort Inc., partnering with firms possessing deep expertise in naval systems integration, ruggedized electronics, and defense-grade component manufacturing. These collaborations reflect a preference for established defense contractors with proven track records in delivering high-integrity hardware under tight technical and schedule constraints, often involving long-term sustainment and obsolescence management. Strohecker’s contracting portfolio is predominantly open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting the technical complexity and limited vendor base for specialized maritime components. However, he consistently allocates 25% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to fostering small business participation without compromising mission-critical performance standards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334515, encompassing the manufacture of instruments for measuring and testing electrical signals—highlighting expertise in test equipment, sensor systems, and signal conditioning hardware. He also regularly acquires current-carrying wiring devices, semiconductor components, and industrial fan systems, underscoring a technical domain centered on naval electronics reliability and system interoperability.
