Stacey DeSimone

Stacey DeSimone serves as a primary contracting professional within DLA Troop Support, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain military readiness through the procurement of mission-critical infrastructure and specialized industrial supplies. She plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission to deliver durable, high-performance systems essential to field operations, including climate control, air handling, and deployable logistics solutions. Her portfolio centers on industrial manufacturing and chemical-based products critical to troop welfare and operational sustainability, ensuring timely delivery of compliant, defense-grade materials under FAR and DFARS guidelines. DeSimone maintains consistent, long-term partnerships with key contractors including WESTLAND TECHNOLOGIES, INC., ENGINEERED COIL COMPANY, ECI DEFENSE GROUP, INC., PIONEER INDUSTRIES, LLC, and AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC. These relationships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in defense-compliant manufacturing, coating systems, and engineered industrial components. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and supply chain resilience, often leveraging existing contract vehicles to streamline procurement cycles for high-demand items.

Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced approach, prioritizing mission needs while actively enabling small business access to defense contracting opportunities through structured competition and transparent solicitation practices. Her technical focus is concentrated in NAICS 325520 (Adhesive Manufacturing) and 325510 (Paint and Coating Manufacturing), each accounting for 36.4% of her portfolio, underscoring deep expertise in chemical formulations and protective coatings for harsh operational environments. She also procures wood preservation products and specialized equipment manufacturing, demonstrating proficiency in industrial material science and defense-specific durability standards.
