Suzanne Maginn

Suzanne Maginn supports the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land Warren office in procuring mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electro-mechanical components essential to the readiness of U.S. ground forces. She manages the acquisition of high-reliability transmission systems, powertrain assemblies, armored vehicle subsystems, and specialized electronic assemblies used in tactical transport and combat support platforms. Her work ensures the sustained operational capability of armored fleets and logistics vehicles through timely, compliant contract actions aligned with DoD sustainment priorities. She handles complex solicitations requiring technical expertise in precision manufacturing, fluid power systems, and ordnance-compatible electronics. Maginn maintains consistent working relationships with key industrial partners including ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, OSHKOSH DEFENSE LLC, RENK AMERICA LLC, SCI TECHNOLOGY, INC, and VAREC NV. These partnerships reflect a preference for established Tier 1 suppliers with proven capabilities in defense-grade manufacturing, systems integration, and quality assurance under MIL-STD and AS9100 standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based acquisition methods, and technical evaluation of design-for-maintainability features critical to fielded platforms. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with approximately 71% of awards issued without set-asides, while maintaining a meaningful commitment to small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, accounting for nearly 29% of awards. She actively engages with qualified small businesses capable of delivering specialized components, though her primary focus remains on ensuring technical fidelity and supply chain resilience over socioeconomic categorization. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 334418 (printed circuit assembly), 333996 (fluid power pump and motor manufacturing), and 332994 (small arms and ordnance accessories), reflecting deep expertise in electro-mechanical integration, hydraulic and pneumatic subsystems, and ruggedized electronic enclosures. She routinely evaluates bids for components requiring compliance with military specifications for vibration resistance, thermal cycling, and electromagnetic compatibility in harsh operational environments.
