Noelle Riggs

Noelle Riggs serves as a primary contracting professional within DLA Land Warren, supporting the Defense Logistics Agency’s mission to sustain the operational readiness of U.S. ground forces through the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electro-mechanical components. She manages complex procurements for armored vehicle subsystems, powertrain assemblies, and high-reliability electronic systems used in tactical transport and combat support platforms. Her work ensures the timely delivery of ruggedized components that meet stringent military specifications, directly enabling the maintenance and modernization of land warfare systems. Riggs operates within a high-stakes acquisition environment where reliability, traceability, and supply chain resilience are paramount. She maintains consistent, long-term relationships with key industry partners including ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, OSHKOSH DEFENSE LLC, RENK AMERICA LLC, SCI TECHNOLOGY, INC, and VAREC NV. These partnerships reflect a preference for established defense industrial base suppliers with proven capabilities in precision manufacturing, propulsion systems, and electronic control modules. Riggs engages with vendors who demonstrate robust quality assurance processes, configuration control, and defense-specific compliance, fostering collaborative contracting approaches that prioritize performance and sustainment over cost alone. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted under full and open competition, Riggs actively supports small business participation, with approximately 20% of her portfolio designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and a notable 6.7% allocated to Women-Owned Small Businesses. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to leveraging small business innovation while maintaining access to the specialized industrial capacity required for defense-critical components. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336310 for motor vehicle engine and powertrain parts, NAICS 333914 for pumping and fluid control systems, and NAICS 331420 for copper alloy manufacturing. She specializes in sourcing high-integrity mechanical components, electro-mechanical subsystems, and specialized metal fittings essential to armored vehicle survivability and mobility, demonstrating deep technical fluency in defense-grounded manufacturing domains.
