Roger Lonza

Roger Lonza serves as a key procurement professional within DLA Disposition Services, supporting the Department of Defense’s end-of-life asset management mission. He oversees the acquisition of logistics and disposal services critical to the safe demilitarization, recycling, and redistribution of surplus military property. His responsibilities include managing contracts for the handling, transportation, and environmental compliance of excess materiel, ensuring alignment with federal disposal regulations and national security protocols. Lonza’s acquisitions typically involve industrial equipment liquidation, recyclable material processing, and specialized mutilation services for sensitive or classified items, directly enabling the agency’s mission to maximize value recovery while safeguarding sensitive technologies. Lonza maintains strategic partnerships with industrial machinery and recyclable materials wholesalers who specialize in compliant disposition workflows. He works closely with vendors possessing certified demilitarization capabilities, hazardous material handling credentials, and experience in DoD property accountability systems. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven track records in secure logistics and environmental remediation, often engaging firms with ISO 14001 certification and DOD-authorized disposal facilities. Relationships are built on reliability, regulatory adherence, and operational scalability rather than volume-based incentives. Lonza’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of contracts awarded under full and open competition. This reflects DLA Disposition Services’ operational need for broad-capability vendors capable of handling high-volume, geographically dispersed disposal operations. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic set-asides, vendors of all sizes are evaluated on technical competence, compliance history, and logistical capacity. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 423830 (Industrial Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers) and 423930 (Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers), reflecting expertise in acquiring heavy equipment liquidation services and bulk recyclable commodity processing. He specializes in sourcing contractors who can manage complex material streams—including metals, electronics, and hazardous components—while meeting DoD environmental and security standards.
