Ailie Souriolle

Ailie Souriolle serves as a key procurement professional within the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard IMF, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize the U.S. fleet through complex ship repair and industrial infrastructure contracts. Responsible for managing acquisition strategies for mission-critical naval vessel maintenance, Souriolle oversees the full lifecycle of contracts covering mechanical overhauls, propulsion system refurbishment, and precision engineering services. Their work directly enables fleet readiness by ensuring timely delivery of high-integrity repair capabilities, aligning procurement actions with naval operational priorities and industrial base resilience goals. Souriolle maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established defense industrial partners, including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, PACIFIC INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT CORP, XLEAGLE LLC, FAIRBANKS MORSE, LLC, and PHILIP RIEKE. These contractors provide specialized capabilities in marine propulsion, heavy machinery, electrical systems, and industrial fabrication, forming a trusted vendor network with proven track records in naval shipyard environments. The procurement approach emphasizes long-term reliability, technical compliance, and performance-based contracting, with a preference for vendors possessing deep expertise in naval vessel systems and certified quality management processes. Souriolle’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong orientation toward open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside categories. This indicates a focus on selecting the most technically qualified and capable providers regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing mission need and industrial capacity over programmatic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally mandated, the agency’s reliance on established defense contractors suggests a preference for proven, large-scale industrial partners with the scale and certification required for complex naval repair operations. The agency’s procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 336611 — Ship Building and Repairing — reflecting a singular specialization in naval vessel maintenance and overhaul. Souriolle’s acquisitions center on mechanical systems, hull modifications, electrical retrofits, and propulsion component restoration, requiring deep technical understanding of naval engineering standards, MIL-SPEC compliance, and dry-dock operational constraints. Their expertise lies in managing high-stakes, long-duration contracts that demand rigorous quality control and adherence to Navy shipyard protocols.
