Maria T. Lucarine

Maria T. Lucarine serves as a key procurement professional within the W0ML USA Deputy Tobyhanna, a critical component of the Department of the Army’s Tobyhanna Army Depot. She manages the acquisition of advanced electronic warfare, signal, and instrumentation systems essential to sustaining U.S. Army combat readiness. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle procurement of specialized military electronics, test equipment, and industrial maintenance services, ensuring alignment with modernization directives and technical specifications for field-deployable systems. She interfaces extensively with defense contractors and industrial partners to deliver mission-critical capabilities under strict compliance with FAR and DoD acquisition regulations. Lucarine maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, primarily for facility infrastructure and site support services integral to depot operations. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industrial partners with proven expertise in defense-grade construction, logistics, and maintenance, though she also engages a broad base of technical vendors to meet specialized component requirements. Her approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and long-term vendor performance over transactional engagements. Her procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 91% of awards issued under open competition, reflecting a mission-driven focus on technical capability and urgency over socioeconomic preferences. Nevertheless, she consistently allocates 9% of acquisitions to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation where it aligns with technical and schedule requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 532490 for commercial and industrial machinery leasing, supporting depot-level test and calibration infrastructure, followed by 335999 for miscellaneous electrical components and 334417 for electronic connectors. These reflect deep expertise in sourcing high-reliability electronic subsystems, ruggedized wiring assemblies, and specialized test equipment critical to maintaining the Army’s electronic systems lifecycle. Her domain expertise centers on the sustainment of fielded electronic warfare and communications platforms under demanding operational conditions.
