Noemi Edwards

Noemi Edwards serves as a Contracting Specialist at the Defense Logistics Agency’s DLA Distribution, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions that sustain the Department of Defense’s global supply chain. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on logistics infrastructure, facility support, and technical services essential to the storage, handling, and distribution of defense materiel. Her work ensures operational readiness through timely contract award and administration, with emphasis on modernizing warehousing capabilities, standardizing hazardous material packaging, and enhancing supply chain resilience through efficient contracting practices. Edwards maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including CONSTRUCTICON CORP, SOUZA CONSTRUCTION, INC., MARTINEZ SERVICES, INC., SDC TIDEWATER JV, LLC, and KINGSLEY BUILDERS, INC., primarily for construction, facility maintenance, and logistics support services. Her contracting approach reflects a preference for established industry partners with proven performance in defense logistics environments, while maintaining rigorous compliance with FAR requirements and performance-based service acquisition standards. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 40% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 4.5% reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. While the majority of her actions are open to full and open competition, she strategically deploys socioeconomic set-asides to foster vendor diversity and enhance competition among qualified small firms.
