VIVIANE KOUNKORGO

Viviane Kounkorgo serves as a primary procurement lead within the Land Supplier Operations Vehicle Support unit of the Department of Defense’s DLA Land and Maritime, where she oversees the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical, structural, and safety-sensitive components for military ground and maritime vehicle fleets. Her role is central to sustaining operational readiness by ensuring the timely delivery of high-reliability parts that meet stringent military specifications under extreme environmental and tactical conditions. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning fabricated metal products, electronic subsystems, and vehicle-specific assemblies, with a focus on technical compliance, supply chain resilience, and lifecycle support for armored and tactical vehicle platforms. Viviane collaborates with a broad base of industrial suppliers, including specialized manufacturers of vehicle steering and suspension systems, precision metal fabricators, and electronic component producers. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages with mid-tier and niche vendors capable of meeting MIL-SPEC and AS9100 standards, favoring partners with proven track records in defense-grade production and rapid response logistics. Her working relationships emphasize technical capability over volume, prioritizing vendors with in-house testing, quality control, and traceability systems essential for defense applications. Her contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting a procurement strategy focused on technical necessity and supply chain availability rather than socioeconomic preferences. There is no current emphasis on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, indicating that her acquisitions are driven by performance, certification, and mission-critical compatibility rather than socioeconomic targeting. Her primary NAICS focus includes 333310 for commercial machinery components, 332999 for custom fabricated metal products, and 336330 for steering and suspension systems, underscoring deep expertise in mechanical systems engineering for military vehicles. She also procures specialized electronic components under 334419 and vehicle body assemblies under 336211, demonstrating broad technical fluency across vehicle subsystems critical to durability, safety, and battlefield performance.
