Roger A. Lonoza

Roger A. Lonoza serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding General’s office under the Department of the Navy, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical maintenance, logistics, and specialized support services essential to naval and marine force readiness. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for equipment sustainment, expeditionary infrastructure support, and operational readiness enablers, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and strategic readiness objectives. He routinely handles complex service-based acquisitions spanning technical maintenance, training, and equipment leasing, with a focus on sustaining combat systems and mobility assets across both garrison and deployed environments. Lonoza maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MANCON LLC, GEMINI TECH SERVICES LLC, CHEMBLE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MICROTECHNOLOGIES LLC, and SAELIG COMPANY, INC., each providing specialized technical, logistics, or industrial support services. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in equipment repair, avionics support, and mission-critical maintenance, often under performance-based service contracts. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, rapid response, and technical precision, aligning vendor performance with operational timelines and readiness metrics. While the majority of his acquisitions are open to all competitors (56.5%), Lonoza demonstrates strong support for small business participation, with 43.5% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He actively leverages the small business ecosystem to source niche technical services and sustainment solutions, ensuring broad vendor engagement without compromising mission requirements. His procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to flight training, industrial laundering, construction equipment leasing, and specialized instruction, reflecting a unique blend of operational support and indirect service needs. These categories indicate expertise in procuring non-traditional but essential services—such as uniform maintenance, flight simulator instruction, and equipment rental—that underpin daily readiness, revealing a nuanced understanding of the logistical ecosystem sustaining naval and marine operations.
