Adia Roberts

Adia Roberts serves as a primary procurement lead at Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound, where she plays a critical role in securing mission-critical marine engineering systems and structural components essential to the readiness of U.S. Navy surface and submarine fleets. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of acquisition activities—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—for high-integrity hardware and industrial maintenance services that sustain naval vessel integrity. She specializes in complex procurements involving precision-fabricated components, mechanical systems, and shipbuilding materials aligned with Navy operational sustainability goals. Roberts maintains consistent working relationships with key industry partners including Timken Gears & Services Inc., Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corp, Bellingham Marine Industries, Palfinger Marine USA, and Jered LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized manufacturers of marine propulsion systems, electro-mechanical controls, heavy-gauge metal fabrication, and vessel repair solutions. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical compliance, supply chain reliability, and long-term vendor performance, fostering collaborative relationships with vendors capable of meeting stringent naval specifications and quality assurance standards. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced approach to socioeconomic set-asides, with nearly equal portions of awards issued under total small business set-asides and no set-aside categories, indicating a preference for competitive open markets while still actively supporting small business participation. She consistently includes Women-Owned Small Business and SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged WOSB set-asides, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding vendor diversity within the defense industrial base. Roberts’ primary NAICS focus areas include Ship Building and Repairing (336611), Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing (332991), and Metal Tank (Heavy Gauge) Manufacturing (332420), underscoring her technical expertise in marine mechanical systems, structural components, and precision-engineered hardware. Her portfolio centers on mission-essential items requiring high-reliability fabrication, corrosion resistance, and compliance with military standards such as MIL-SPEC and NAVSEA requirements.
