Shareah Locklear

Shareah Locklear supports the procurement mission of DLA Land and Maritime by managing critical acquisitions of mechanical, electrical, and fabricated metal components essential to the operational readiness of naval, land, and expeditionary military systems. Responsible for sourcing high-performance parts including industrial valves, power transmission equipment, sealing devices, and ordnance accessories, Locklear ensures timely delivery of mission-critical hardware that sustains the functionality of ships, armored vehicles, and deployed platforms. Their work directly enables the Department of Defense’s global logistics readiness through strategic contracting aligned with military specifications and technical standards. Locklear maintains consistent relationships with key contractors including TRIMAN INDUSTRIES INC, ECI DEFENSE GROUP, ITL LLC, KAMPI COMPONENTS CO INC, and PIONEER INDUSTRIES, LLC—vendors known for their expertise in precision metal fabrication, rubber and plastics components, and specialized power transmission systems. These partnerships reflect a focus on reliable, qualified suppliers capable of meeting stringent military performance and quality requirements. The contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, technical compliance, and responsive supply chain support under firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types. While the majority of acquisitions are conducted as open competition (80%), Locklear demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, consistently allocating 20% of opportunities as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern reflects a strategic emphasis on expanding the defense industrial base by engaging capable small manufacturers without relying on specialized socioeconomic set-asides like 8(a) or HUBZone. The procurement focus centers on NAICS 333613 for mechanical power transmission equipment, 332215 for fabricated metal components, 334220 for communications-related hardware, and 326220/326291 for rubber and plastic sealing and mechanical-use products. This technical domain requires deep familiarity with MIL-SPEC standards, material certifications, and industrial component interoperability within complex military platforms.
