Lori A. Zolofra

Lori A. Zolofra serves as a Purchasing Agent for the W7NY Uspfo Activity Ri Arng under the Department of the Army, where she plays a critical role in securing essential goods and services to sustain Army National Guard readiness. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned requirements. She specializes in acquiring infrastructure and operational support assets, with a focus on furniture, industrial equipment, and related logistics systems that directly enable barracks, lodging, and tactical communications capabilities. Zolofra maintains a consistent working relationship with Allied Imperium Global, Inc., a key vendor providing specialized industrial machinery and office furniture solutions tailored to military environments. Her contracting approach reflects a preference for established commercial suppliers with proven reliability and scalable delivery capacity, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence. She engages primarily with large, non-set-aside contractors, prioritizing efficiency and operational continuity over socioeconomic preferences. Her procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, indicating a strategic emphasis on open competition to ensure broad market access and optimal value. There is no discernible reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs, aligning with agency priorities focused on mission-critical delivery over targeted socioeconomic outcomes. Zolofra’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 337211 (Wood Office Furniture Manufacturing) and 423830 (Industrial Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers), reflecting her specialization in procuring durable, military-grade furniture for barracks and administrative facilities, as well as heavy-duty mechanical and electrical equipment critical to facility sustainment and operational support. Her domain expertise centers on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions that meet Army technical standards for durability, safety, and interoperability in field and garrison environments.
