Susan Diamond

Susan Diamond serves as a primary contracting professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land and Maritime organization, overseeing the procurement of critical mechanical and fabricated metal components essential to the operational readiness of naval, land, and expeditionary military systems. Her responsibilities include managing full lifecycle acquisitions for high-reliability parts including industrial valves, sealing devices, power transmission components, and ordnance accessories, ensuring timely delivery to sustain global military operations. She operates under the SPE7M1 contracting code, aligning all procurements with DLA’s mission to maintain fleet and platform availability through robust supply chain management and technical specification compliance. She maintains consistent, long-term relationships with key contractors including TRIMAN INDUSTRIES INC, ECI DEFENSE GROUP, ITL LLC, KAMPI COMPONENTS CO INC, and ASRC FEDERAL FACILITIES LOGISTICS, LLC—organizations recognized for their expertise in precision manufacturing and defense-grade component supply. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements based on proven quality, technical adherence to MIL-SPEC standards, and reliable performance in mission-critical environments. Her contracting approach prioritizes vendor stability and technical capability over transactional sourcing. Susan’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 98.3% of awards issued without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on maximizing competition among qualified industrial suppliers rather than socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation is minimal at 1.8%, it aligns with the technical complexity and scale of requirements, where specialized manufacturing capabilities often necessitate large, established industrial vendors. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 339991 (Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing), followed by 332911 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in fluid control systems and mechanical sealing technologies. She routinely procures components requiring stringent material certifications, pressure ratings, and environmental resilience—ensuring compatibility with harsh operational conditions across maritime and armored platforms.
