# DLA named Agency of the Year for supporting nation’s small businesses

/ Published Feb. 16, 2023
FORT BELVOIR, Va., 
Recognition of the Defense Logistics Agency’s success partnering with American small businesses reached new heights Feb. 15 when it was named Agency of the Year at the sold-out National Small Business Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The honor was presented by the National 8(a) Association and National HUBZone Council. The Small Business Administration’s 8(a) program focuses on socially and economically disadvantaged businesses, and the HUBZone program assists those in historically underutilized business zones.   

“This is a great honor and recognition of the collaborative and collective work we’re achieving in strengthening and deepening our industry engagement with the small business community,” said Dwight Deneal, DLA’s director of small business programs.

Daily efforts from DLA’s acquisition and information technology teams helped make the award possible, he added.

The award was based on DLA’s ability to meet fiscal 2022 small business contracting goals set by the Defense Department and for its history helping small businesses understand and navigate federal contracting processes so they can compete for contracts.

DLA exceeded its small business goal for the 10th consecutive year in fiscal 2022 by obligating 39% of its contracts to small businesses against a 35.1% objective. The agency also topped its 3% goal in the historically underutilized business zone category for the second consecutive year at 3.5%.

Fiscal 2022 small business contracts at DLA were worth more than ever at almost $16 billion, said Chris Hall, DLA’s deputy director of small business.

Deneal praised DLA small business specialists’ work connecting small business owners with contracts for items like spare parts and other consumables that need routine replacement. Aligning small businesses with DLA contracts has become a repeatable process, he added, and the agency is working on new ways of identifying businesses capable of meeting unique or sudden requirements.

DLA’s Small Business Innovation Program, which uses small businesses to eliminate gaps in parts for weapons systems, is one example of how DLA has become a model for matching vendors with military needs. Contracts for over 500 national stock numbered items have been awarded through the program.

Small business experts throughout DLA are working to overcome the decline in the defense industrial base by increasing contracts with underserved business communities in addition to HUBZones, Deneal added.

The agency’s fiscal 2023 small business goal is 37.3%.

DATE: June 4, 2009

SUBJECT: 2008 Ozone Conformity NPRM

Pre-proposal Meetings with External Stakeholder Organizations

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Transportation 

and Air Quality transportation staff-level conformity team members met with the 

following external stakeholder organizations to discuss the 2008 ozone conformity 

NPRM and to provide a status update on the 2006 PM Amendments NPRM:

Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) – March 16, 2009

National Association of Regional Councils (NARC) – March 24, 2009

American Public Transportation Association (APTA) – March 24, 2009

Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (AMPO) – March 25, 2009

American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) –

March 25, 2009

National Association of Clean Air Agencies (NACAA) – March 30, 2009

Agenda for each meeting:

1. Purpose of Call;

2. Background for 2008 ozone NAAQS:

a. March 12, 2008 – EPA issued final rule on ground-level ozone 

NAAQS;

b. Transportation conformity for the 2008 ozone NAAQS would apply 

one year after effective date of EPA’s final nonattainment 

designations.

3. Potential issues covered by this rulemaking:

a. Provide transportation conformity requirements for areas designated 

nonattainment for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. These proposed 

changes include the use of regional conformity tests in 2008 ozone 

areas, the use of ozone budgets for other ozone NAAQS, and 

defining the baseline year;

b. Reorganize certain sections of the conformity rule to minimize future 

rulemakings needed when new or revised NAAQS are issued. We

are considering revisions to 40 CFR 93.109 and 93.119 of the 

conformity rule, so that these provisions would apply to areas 

designated for new or revised NAAQS in the future.

4. Discussion of rulemaking issues;

5. Status of conformity rulemaking for 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS areas.
2

Rulemaking issues discussed (staff-level ideas considered for proposal):

1. Proposal to restructure 40 CFR 93.109 to apply generally to all areas 

designated for a new or revised NAAQS, rather than for each specific 

NAAQS/pollutant;

2. Proposal to generalize baseline years in the baseline year interim 

emissions test (40 CFR 93.119) for conformity purposes for any 

NAAQS/pollutant;

3. Proposal to make required analysis years the same, regardless of 

whether an area has an adequate or approved SIP budget or must use 

the interim emissions test(s);

4. Use of interim emissions tests in 2008 ozone areas in lieu of older 

ozone SIP budgets.

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 04-6367

DANIEL LEE BROWN,

Petitioner - Appellant,

versus

RONALD ANGELONE, Director,

Respondent - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern

District of Virginia, at Richmond. Richard L. Williams, Senior

District Judge. (CA-02-716-3)

Submitted: August 13, 2004 Decided: August 25, 2004

Before WILKINSON, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Daniel Lee Brown, Appellant Pro Se. John H. McLees, Jr., OFFICE OF

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).
- 2 -

PER CURIAM:

Daniel Lee Brown seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254

(2000). The order is not appealable unless a circuit justice or

judge issues a certificate of appealability. 28 U.S.C.

§ 2253(c)(1) (2000). A certificate of appealability will not issue

absent “a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional

right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2) (2000). A prisoner satisfies this

standard by demonstrating that reasonable jurists would find that

his constitutional claims are debatable and that any dispositive

procedural rulings by the district court are also debatable or

wrong. See Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322, 336 (2003);

Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000); Rose v. Lee, 252 F.3d

676, 683 (4th Cir. 2001). We have independently reviewed the

record and conclude that Brown has not made the requisite showing.

Accordingly, we deny Brown’s motion to hold this appeal in

abeyance, deny a certificate of appealability, and dismiss the

appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the

court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

# DLA Disposition Services helps police raise autism awareness

/ Published March 24, 2016
Tinton Falls, New Jersey, 
World Autism Awareness Day is April 2, but one DLA Disposition Services customer makes it part of its daily mission. 

The Tinton Falls Police Department in New Jersey acquired six Humvees through DoD's Law Enforcement Support Office program, which DLA Disposition Services administers. The department painted one bright blue to help raise awareness of autism among law enforcement officers and others.

“My son is 11 years old and has autism, “ said Captain Gerald Turning Jr., a 20-year veteran of the department. His concern was more than personal; it was professional as well.

“My department has been very receptive, open and proactive in terms of advocacy and outreach for the special-needs community,” Turning said.  

Turning said he has seen a gap in communications between families who have a special-needs member and emergency responders.

“A lot of times, [first responders] misunderstand our kids and interpret their behaviors or the way they act as either defiant or non-compliant. Or sometimes, a lot their behaviors mimic intoxication or things like that,” he said.

And in the worst-case scenario, Turning said, “tragedy happens.” 

To reach out to both sides, Turning came up with the idea to paint one of the Humvees from the 1033 program blue and use it as a community-outreach tool. 

He points out it's not just a show piece; it's a fully functional police vehicle that has been used alongside their other Humvees during emergency situations — including this winter’s snow storms.

And when it’s not pulling those duties, it's used “just to start the conversation or bring the kids out to show them that the cops are the good guys and not the bad guys, or that they should not be afraid of us,” Turning said. “We are the ones they can run to if they need help. That is what we have been trying to do.”

Turning says his department and the blue Humvee have been invited to events in other towns to help get the conversation started there too. He said he speaks to emergency responders across New Jersey to help them better understand the possible signs a person with autism may display.  

He said the support of his chief, coupled with a blue Humvee, was making it possible to start a conversation — one that could be critical.

retribution is not persecution on account of a protected ground). Accordingly,

petitioner's asylum, withholding of removal, and CAT claims fail.

Contrary to petitioner's allegation, the BIA did not issue a streamlined

DLA Orgs in Oklahoma City challenge each other to raise food for families
 
  By April Walker, management analyst, DLA Aviation at Oklahoma City
  The Feds Feed Families Campaign is an annual event that runs from June through August of each year for federal government organizations to collect food for local food banks. This year, Defense Logistics Agency organizations at Oklahoma City took the campaign to next level with a "Food Fight Challenge” between DLA Aviation and DLA Distribution, both located on Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma.  "We decided to make it a healthy competition between the two DLA organizations this year", said Air Force Col Ken Ruthardt, commander of DLA Aviation at Oklahoma City. “We placed Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma boxes throughout our work areas and all official weigh-ins were documented by the 72nd Air Base Wing.”  The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma feeds more than 116,000 hungry Oklahomans every week, of which 37 percent are children. According to the Food Bank, one in four children and one in six adults in Oklahoma struggle with hunger.  Other facts the Food Bank points out are Oklahoma remains in the top 10 states in the nation for food insecurity in seniors and 18 percent of food programs have had to turn away clients because they ran out of food, which made this challenge so much more than a "Food Fight" between DLA Aviation and DLA Distribution.  DLA Aviation and Distribution were able to support the fight against hunger in the local community and provide Oklahomans with a meal they may not have had otherwise.  The winner of our "Food Fight Challenge” was announced at the 2016 DLA (at Oklahoma City) Annual Employee Appreciation Picnic on Sep. 22, and a traveling trophy was given to the DLA organization that had the highest weigh-in.  DLA Distribution’s donations weighed-in at 1,014 pounds and DLA Aviation's at 1,442 pounds. DLA Aviation was declared the 2016 "Food Fight" champion. Ruthardtreceived the “Food Fight” traveling trophy along with bragging rights for an entire year. This was the first "Food Fight" between the two organizations, but definitely won't be the last. Both organizations plan to make this a yearly tradition to support Feds Feed Families.
