Vincent Strongarone

Vincent Strongarone serves as a Contract Specialist at DLA Land Warren, where he plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electro-mechanical components for U.S. ground forces. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement for armored vehicle subsystems, powertrain assemblies, and tactical transport system components, ensuring operational readiness through timely, compliant, and technically sound acquisitions. He specializes in complex solicitations governed by FAR and DFARS, with a focus on high-reliability systems essential to combat platforms. Strongarone’s work directly supports DLA’s mandate to sustain the logistical backbone of land warfare capabilities across the Department of Defense. He maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense industrial base partners including ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, OSHKOSH DEFENSE, RENK AMERICA, SCI TECHNOLOGY, and VAREC NV. These partnerships reflect a preference for established Tier 1 suppliers with proven expertise in military-grade transmission systems, electronic control units, and ruggedized electro-mechanical assemblies. Strongarone’s approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, technical validation, and supply chain resilience, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in quality assurance and defense-specific compliance standards. Strongarone’s procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 85.7% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the specialized nature of the components required. However, he consistently allocates 14.3% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising technical or operational requirements. His socioeconomic strategy prioritizes capability over classification, ensuring small businesses with validated technical capacity are integrated into the supply chain. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336320 (Motor Vehicle Electrical and Electronic Equipment Manufacturing) and 336350 (Motor Vehicle Transmission and Power Train Parts Manufacturing), with additional activity in 336310 (Gasoline Engine Components) and 314999 (Miscellaneous Textile Products). He specializes in acquiring hardened sensors, drivetrain components, armored vehicle electrical harnesses, and mission-critical control systems, demonstrating deep technical fluency in defense automotive and electro-mechanical domains.
