Robert Guerra

Robert Guerra serves as the primary contracting professional for DLA Troop Support, responsible for managing complex acquisitions critical to the readiness and sustainment of U.S. military forces. He oversees the procurement of specialized industrial equipment and mission-critical infrastructure, including overhead crane systems, industrial pumps, and deployable logistics components essential for field operations. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure operational continuity through reliable, high-performance equipment procurement, with a focus on durable, engineered solutions that meet rigorous DoD standards for durability and deployability. Guerra maintains consistent, long-term relationships with key vendors including WESTLAND TECHNOLOGIES, INC., ENGINEERED COIL COMPANY, ECI DEFENSE GROUP, INC., PIONEER INDUSTRIES, LLC, and AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established manufacturers with proven capabilities in industrial systems, custom fabrication, and defense-grade engineering. His contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, performance-based specifications, and vendor reliability, fostering collaborative relationships with suppliers who can deliver mission-essential equipment under demanding operational conditions. While the majority of his acquisitions—70.2%—are conducted as unrestricted competitions, Guerra actively promotes small business participation through targeted set-asides. He regularly awards contracts under Total Small Business Set-Aside (20.2%), with notable emphasis on Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (4.3%) and Women-Owned Small Businesses (3.2%), reflecting a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission requirements. His procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 333923 (overhead crane and hoist systems) and 314994 (rope and cordage manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in industrial material handling and ruggedized logistics components. He also frequently procures pumping equipment (333914) and specialized miscellaneous manufacturing products (339999), demonstrating technical fluency in mechanical systems that support troop welfare, field maintenance, and expeditionary operations.
