Suzanne Black

Suzanne Black serves as Logistics Manager, overseeing the acquisition and management of critical logistics support services to ensure operational readiness and supply chain efficiency. In this role, she plays a pivotal part in the agency’s procurement mission by executing full lifecycle contract actions—from requirement validation and market research to solicitation, evaluation, and contract administration. Her acquisitions primarily focus on maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services, facility logistics support, and specialized technical services that sustain mission-critical infrastructure and equipment. She works closely with program managers and supply chain analysts to align contracting strategies with operational demands, ensuring timely delivery of logistics solutions under strict compliance frameworks. Suzanne cultivates stable, performance-driven relationships with a broad base of vendors specializing in logistics and facility services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing proven expertise in equipment maintenance, warehouse operations, and transportation management. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, past performance, and technical capability over price alone, fostering long-term partnerships built on accountability and service quality. She frequently utilizes Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) and Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) to streamline recurring requirements and enhance acquisition agility. Suzanne’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing capability and efficiency over mandated set-asides. While she does not actively target 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her process remains fully compliant with all federal small business participation requirements, and she welcomes qualified small businesses to compete on an equal footing. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS Code 811219—Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance. She specializes in acquiring services related to the repair, calibration, and preventive maintenance of complex logistics and facility equipment, including material handling systems, HVAC units, and automated storage solutions. Her technical expertise lies in understanding the operational lifecycle of industrial machinery and ensuring contractors meet stringent performance and safety standards.
