Paul Doerfler

Paul Doerfler serves as a primary contracting professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land and Maritime organization, responsible for managing the acquisition of critical mechanical, electrical, and fabricated metal components essential to naval, land, and expeditionary military systems. He oversees the procurement of industrial valves, power transmission equipment, sealing devices, and ordnance accessories that sustain the operational readiness of armored vehicles, shipboard systems, and mobile platforms. His work directly supports DLA’s mission to ensure global logistics resilience through reliable, high-performance parts, with a focus on complex engineering components requiring strict military specifications and quality assurance protocols. Doerfler maintains consistent working relationships with key suppliers including Triman Industries Inc., ECI Defense Group, Inc., ITL LLC, Kampi Components Co. Inc., and ASRC Federal Facilities Logistics, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in manufacturing precision mechanical components, specialized seals, and power transmission systems for defense applications. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, technical compliance, and supply chain continuity, often leveraging blanket purchase agreements and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts to meet dynamic operational demands. His procurement portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on small business participation, with nearly 31% of awards designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 2.9% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, Doerfler actively prioritizes socioeconomic contracting opportunities to foster innovation and resilience within the defense industrial base. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing), with significant activity in mechanical power transmission (333613), motor vehicle engine parts (336310), and gear manufacturing (333612). He specializes in procuring components critical to engine systems, drivetrains, and auxiliary power units, demonstrating deep domain expertise in industrial mechanical systems used across military platforms.
