Lisa Kowalczyk

Lisa Kowalczyk serves as a primary contracting professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land and Maritime organization, responsible for securing critical mechanical, electrical, and fabricated metal components essential to naval, land, and expeditionary military systems. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for high-reliability parts including industrial valves, sealing devices, power transmission equipment, and ordnance accessories, ensuring sustained operational readiness of defense platforms. Her work directly supports DLA’s mission to maintain global logistics readiness through timely, compliant, and technically sound procurement of mission-critical hardware. Kowalczyk maintains established relationships with key contractors including Triman Industries Inc., ECI Defense Group, Inc., ITL LLC, Kampi Components Co. Inc., and ASRC Federal Facilities Logistics, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced industrial suppliers with proven capabilities in defense-grade manufacturing and quality assurance systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical compliance with military specifications, and consistent delivery performance, fostering long-term collaborations with firms that meet stringent DoD supply chain standards. Her procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 82.8% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. While small business participation is present, it remains secondary to mission-critical needs, with total small business set-asides accounting for 14.2% and niche socioeconomic categories—such as Women-Owned, HUBZone, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses—each representing less than 1% of awards. This pattern reflects a prioritization of technical capability and supply chain resilience over socioeconomic targeting. Kowalczyk’s primary procurement focus lies in electrical and electro-mechanical manufacturing, with dominant NAICS codes in Battery Manufacturing (335910) and Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment (335999). She routinely sources components such as capacitors, transformers, motor and generator assemblies, and specialized industrial electrical systems, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical domains supporting military power systems, vehicle electronics, and expeditionary equipment. Her work ensures the functionality and durability of critical defense infrastructure under demanding operational conditions.
