Marlene Packer

Marlene Packer 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 systems through the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and fabricated metal components. She manages complex contracting actions for industrial valves, sealing devices, power transmission equipment, and ordnance accessories essential to sustaining military platforms. Her work directly enables the sustainment of shipboard, vehicle, and field-deployed systems by ensuring timely delivery of high-performance, defense-grade parts that meet stringent military specifications. Packer maintains consistent working relationships with core contractors including TRIMAN INDUSTRIES INC, ECI DEFENSE GROUP, ITL LLC, KAMPI COMPONENTS CO INC, and ASRC FEDERAL FACILITIES LOGISTICS, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on established suppliers with proven capabilities in precision manufacturing and defense-compliant production. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and supply chain resilience, favoring vendors with demonstrated expertise in producing components to ASME, MIL-SPEC, and ISO standards. Packer’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on leveraging the broadest possible industrial base to meet urgent operational requirements, prioritizing technical capability and delivery performance over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally targeted through set-asides, she evaluates all offerors based on merit, quality, and readiness to support time-sensitive logistics demands. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 332996 (fabricated pipe and pipe fitting manufacturing), 334416 (passive electronic component manufacturing), and 333613 (mechanical power transmission equipment). These categories underscore her technical expertise in sourcing precision-engineered components for hydraulic systems, electrical control units, and drivetrain assemblies critical to armored vehicles, naval vessels, and expeditionary logistics platforms.
