TRINITY WAHLENMAIER

Trinity Wahlenmaier serves as the primary procurement lead for the Active Devices Division within the Department of Defense’s DLA Land and Maritime, where she is responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical electronic components essential to military platform readiness. Her role centers on ensuring the reliable, interoperable supply of high-integrity parts—including relays, semiconductors, capacitors, and industrial control systems—used in communications, avionics, and defense infrastructure. She executes full lifecycle contracting actions, from market research and solicitation to award and contract administration, aligning all procurements with DoD standards for quality, traceability, and supply chain resilience. Trinity collaborates with a diverse base of manufacturers and distributors specializing in defense-grade electronic components, maintaining strong relationships with vendors capable of meeting stringent MIL-SPEC and AS9100 requirements. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with suppliers possessing certified quality systems, component traceability, and long-term sustainment capabilities. Her contracting approach prioritizes technical compliance, supply chain security, and vendor performance history over cost alone, fostering partnerships with firms that can support end-to-end lifecycle management of critical parts. Her procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting a mission-critical focus on technical capability and supply assurance over socioeconomic preferences. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing vendor qualifications and component integrity to meet urgent operational demands. Trinity’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 335314 (Relay and Industrial Control Manufacturing), where she acquires ruggedized relays, timing controls, and switchgear for harsh-environment applications, and NAICS 334514 (Totalizing Fluid Meter and Counting Device Manufacturing), where she sources precision flow and count sensors for logistics and munitions systems. Her technical expertise spans electromechanical systems, military-grade electronics, and supply chain risk mitigation in contested environments.
