Mary Capezzuti

Mary Capezzuti serves as a primary procurement lead within the Land Supply Chain under the Department of Defense’s DLA Land and Maritime, responsible for acquiring mission-critical mechanical and fabricated metal components essential to the sustainment of military vehicles, weapons platforms, and tactical support equipment. Her role centers on ensuring operational readiness through the timely procurement of high-reliability parts engineered to withstand extreme environmental and mechanical stress. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions spanning engine systems, powertrain assemblies, and precision-machined components, leveraging full and open competition to meet stringent defense performance standards. Her contractor relationships are characterized by engagement with established manufacturers and machine shops capable of meeting military specifications for dimensional accuracy, material integrity, and traceability. She routinely works with firms possessing AS9100 and ISO 9001 certifications, emphasizing suppliers with proven experience in defense-grade fabrication, heat treatment, and CNC machining. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her pattern reflects a preference for vendors with robust quality control systems and the capacity to deliver low-volume, high-complexity parts on tight operational timelines. Mary’s procurement strategy is exclusively focused on full and open competition, with no set-asides utilized across her portfolio. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and supply chain resilience over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the Land Supply Chain’s imperative to secure mission-critical components without compromise. Her approach underscores a commitment to performance over programmatic categorization. Her primary NAICS focus includes 336310 (gasoline engine and engine parts), 336350 (transmission and powertrain components), 333998 (miscellaneous machinery), 333613 (mechanical power transmission equipment), and 332710 (machine shops). She specializes in procuring forged, cast, and machined metal parts requiring tight tolerances, including gears, shafts, housings, and drivetrain assemblies—demanding deep technical understanding of metallurgy, tolerance stacks, and military drawing standards like ASME Y14.5 and MIL-STD-130.
