Leah Bourdeau

Leah Bourdeau serves as a key procurement professional within DLA Land Warren, supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to sustain ground force readiness through the acquisition of high-reliability mechanical, electrical, and electro-mechanical components. She manages complex contracts for mission-critical subsystems used in armored vehicles, tactical transport platforms, and combat support systems, with a focus on powertrain assemblies, transmission components, and electronic control systems essential to operational durability. Her work ensures the timely delivery of technically rigorous parts that meet stringent military specifications, directly enabling the readiness and survivability of land warfare assets. Bourdeau maintains sustained contracting relationships with leading defense suppliers including ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, OSHKOSH DEFENSE LLC, RENK AMERICA LLC, SCI TECHNOLOGY, INC, and VAREC NV. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industrial base vendors with proven capabilities in defense-grade manufacturing, systems integration, and quality assurance under MIL-STD and SAE standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term supplier collaboration, technical evaluation, and performance-based acquisition strategies to ensure reliability and supply chain resilience. Bourdeau’s procurement portfolio reflects a consistent emphasis on full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-aside designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This reflects a strategic prioritization of technical capability and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with DLA Land Warren’s mandate to secure high-assurance components under demanding operational conditions. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336320 (motor vehicle electrical and electronic equipment), 336390 (other motor vehicle parts), and 336350 (transmission and powertrain parts), with additional activity in steering, suspension, and tire manufacturing. She specializes in sourcing precision-engineered components for armored vehicle platforms, including hardened electronics, drivetrain assemblies, and integrated control systems critical to tactical mobility and survivability.
