Lisa Samocki

Lisa Samocki serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Troop Support organization, where she manages complex acquisitions critical to sustaining U.S. military operational readiness. Her work centers on securing high-reliability mechanical components, aircraft subsystems, and specialized sealing devices that support deployable logistics infrastructure and field equipment. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven performance standards. Her portfolio directly supports the sustainment of combat-ready forces through the procurement of mission-critical hardware essential to air, land, and sea operations. Samocki maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse base of industrial suppliers, particularly those specializing in precision manufacturing of fasteners, aircraft ancillary components, and sealing systems. She routinely engages with Tier 1 and Tier 2 defense contractors, as well as niche manufacturers with technical expertise in aerospace-grade materials and high-tolerance machining. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based specifications and supply chain resilience, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in quality assurance and on-time delivery metrics. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with approximately 78% of awards issued without set-asides. Nevertheless, she actively promotes socioeconomic inclusion, consistently allocating awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides and showing notable support for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and HUBZone firms. This balanced approach ensures broad market access while maintaining rigorous technical standards. Samocki’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332722 (fastener manufacturing) and 336413 (aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment), reflecting deep expertise in mechanical subsystems and aerospace-grade components. She routinely acquires bolts, rivets, gaskets, and specialized seals engineered for extreme environmental conditions, demonstrating specialized knowledge in material science, military specifications, and durability testing protocols. Her technical acumen ensures that procured items meet stringent DoD performance and interoperability requirements.
