Roberta M Witmer

Roberta M. Witmer serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Distribution command, supporting the global logistics mission through the acquisition of critical maintenance, equipment, and infrastructure services. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on industrial machinery repair, conveyor systems, and packaging equipment—ensuring the operational readiness of DLA’s warehousing and distribution networks. Her acquisitions prioritize reliability, compliance with hazardous material handling standards, and supply chain resilience, aligning with DLA Distribution’s strategic goals of modernizing logistics infrastructure and standardizing defense materiel packaging. Witmer maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Constructicon Corp, Souza Construction, Inc., Martinez Services, Inc., SDC TideWater JV, LLC, and Kingsley Builders, Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on industrial facility maintenance, mechanical system installation, and specialized construction services essential to sustaining military supply chain operations. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in heavy industrial environments, often requiring compliance with DoD facility standards and safety protocols. Her procurement activity demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 42% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate her portfolio, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity and foster competitive opportunity within the industrial services sector. Her primary NAICS focus centers on commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance (811310) and conveyor equipment manufacturing (333922), with additional activity in packaging machinery and industrial equipment leasing. This specialization reflects deep technical expertise in sustaining automated material handling systems, maintenance of high-throughput distribution infrastructure, and compliance with military-grade packaging and storage requirements.
