Lori A. Archibald

Lori Archibald serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land and Maritime organization, supporting the operational readiness of naval, land, and expeditionary military platforms through the acquisition of critical mechanical, electrical, and fabricated metal components. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts for industrial valves, sealing devices, power transmission equipment, and ordnance accessories—parts essential to the functionality and sustainment of military vehicles, ships, and combat systems. Her work ensures the continuous availability of mission-critical hardware across global defense operations, aligning closely with DLA’s mandate to deliver reliable logistics support under demanding operational conditions. Archibald maintains strong, recurring relationships with a core group of established suppliers, including Triman Industries Inc., ECI Defense Group, Inc., ITL LLC, Kampi Components Co Inc, and Pioneer Industries, LLC. These vendors are trusted providers of specialized metal components and engineered subsystems, often delivering custom-fabricated or precision-machined parts under tight technical specifications. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with manufacturers possessing proven capability in defense-grade production environments, emphasizing quality control, traceability, and on-time delivery. While the majority of her acquisitions—84.8%—are conducted without set-asides, Archibald consistently integrates small business participation, with 8.7% of awards designated for total small business set-asides and 6.5% allocated to HUBZone firms. This balanced approach ensures competitive sourcing while actively supporting socioeconomic goals within the defense industrial base. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing) and 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing), alongside significant activity in hardware and fastener manufacturing (332510 and 332722). She specializes in sourcing high-reliability components for ruggedized military systems, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with materials, tolerances, and MIL-SPEC requirements governing mechanical and fabricated metal products.
