MAJ Coral Lore serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Army, supporting the modernization of battlefield analytical systems, test and evaluation infrastructure, and mission-critical R&D capabilities. Operating under the Department of Defense, she manages complex acquisitions aligned with the Army’s strategic imperative to enhance operational readiness through advanced scientific and engineering solutions. Her portfolio centers on high-value, technically demanding contracts for research, development, and systems integration, ensuring that warfighters are equipped with next-generation instrumentation, communications platforms, and data-driven decision tools. She plays a pivotal role in translating operational requirements into actionable contract vehicles that accelerate innovation across defense science and engineering domains. MAJ Lore maintains enduring relationships with leading defense contractors including FLUOR INTERCONTINENTAL, INC, KBR SERVICES, LLC, LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION, ARMY SUSTAINMENT LLC, and THE BOEING COMPANY. These partnerships reflect a preference for large, vertically integrated firms with proven capabilities in systems engineering, test range modernization, and mission-critical R&D execution. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term sustainment, and integrated technical support, often utilizing IDIQs and other flexible contract types to enable rapid response to evolving battlefield needs. MAJ Lore’s procurement activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate focus on technical excellence and mission-critical capability delivery over socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the Army’s priority to access the highest-tier engineering and scientific expertise available in the industrial base. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, all procurements remain compliant with federal acquisition regulations and competitive bidding standards. Her primary NAICS focus is split equally between 541720 (social sciences and humanities R&D) and 541715 (physical, engineering, and life sciences R&D), underscoring expertise in human factors analysis, operational testing, and advanced engineering systems. She procures services spanning simulation modeling, battlefield analytics, instrumentation development, and test range automation, consistently engaging vendors with deep domain knowledge in defense science and systems integration.
