In this episode of Fed Gov Today, you will get an inside look at a groundbreaking transformation taking place at the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Acting Commander Kenneth Watson of DLA Land and Maritime joins the show to detail the agency’s Technical Data Management Transformation (TDMT), a bold initiative aimed at digitizing and modernizing how the DLA handles technical specifications for military parts and equipment. 

You will learn how DLA is working closely with the Army as a pilot case, using new tools to streamline data flows and create a more responsive, transparent, and efficient contracting process. The episode also explores the broader impact of this effort: increasing resilience across the defense industrial base, attracting new vendors, and reducing single points of failure in military supply lines. Ken shares his vision of TDMT as a “universal translator” for tech data, simplifying integration across various military services and ensuring industry receives accurate, timely information.
