Maria Aguayo

Maria Del Aguayo serves as a secondary procurement specialist within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Troop Support organization, supporting the acquisition of mission-critical apparel, textile-based equipment, and specialized medical supplies essential to troop readiness and operational sustainment. While not the primary contracting officer, she plays a vital role in facilitating contract execution, vendor coordination, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations for high-volume, low-unit-cost items that directly support fielded forces. Her work centers on procurements governed by NAICS codes in apparel manufacturing and textile product production, ensuring timely delivery of durable, standardized gear and protective equipment to deployed units. She maintains consistent working relationships with key vendors including WESTLAND TECHNOLOGIES, INC., ENGINEERED COIL COMPANY, ECI DEFENSE GROUP, INC., PIONEER INDUSTRIES, LLC, and AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC—partners with proven capabilities in producing deployable climate control systems, reinforced textile enclosures, and custom-fabricated medical containment solutions. These vendor relationships reflect a preference for established contractors with DoD supply chain experience, often leveraging existing Blanket Purchase Agreements and Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity contracts to maintain inventory readiness. Her procurement patterns show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 70.7% of actions conducted without set-asides, yet she actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (24.4%) and targeted efforts for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned and HUBZone firms (2.4% each), demonstrating a balanced commitment to both efficiency and socioeconomic goals. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 315990 (apparel accessories), 314910 (textile bags and canvas), and 319113 (surgical supplies), reflecting deep expertise in procuring field-grade uniforms, moisture-wicking undergarments, deployable medical bags, and reinforced tactical pouches—all engineered for extreme environmental resilience and compliance with military specification standards.
