Albert Yeh

Albert Yeh serves as a Contract Specialist with the Military Sealift Command (MSC), where he plays a pivotal role in executing strategic sealift and afloat support acquisitions critical to naval expeditionary operations. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracts under FAR and DFARS guidelines, Yeh specializes in procuring deep-sea freight transportation services and specialized ocean transportation solutions that sustain global naval mobility. His work ensures the timely acquisition of vessel charter services, engineering support, and maintenance contracts for both government-owned and commercially chartered ships, directly enabling MSC’s mission of responsive, resilient logistics for the Department of Defense. Yeh maintains collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of maritime contractors, including large international shipping and logistics firms, as well as niche engineering and vessel operations providers. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and service-level accountability, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in compliance, reliability, and operational readiness. He frequently engages with contractors possessing specialized expertise in roll-on/roll-off shipping, heavy-lift transport, and naval auxiliary support services. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, Yeh consistently prioritizes small business participation, with approximately 15% of his contract portfolio allocated to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He actively promotes competition among small businesses, particularly those with maritime logistics or engineering capabilities, aligning with DoD’s broader socioeconomic objectives without relying on targeted set-asides like 8(a) or HUBZone. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation), where he procures intercontinental cargo movement and fleet support services, and NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where he sources vessel maintenance planning, navigation systems integration, and maritime infrastructure support. Yeh’s expertise centers on complex, mission-critical transportation and technical service contracts that ensure the operational continuity of the U.S. Navy’s global presence.
