Alec M. Ferralli

Alec M. Ferralli supports the operational readiness of U.S. Navy surface and auxiliary vessels through specialized procurement activities within Mschq Norfolk, a key logistics and sustainment unit under the Department of the Navy. He manages acquisitions critical to maritime fleet sustainment, including ship repair services, deep-sea freight transport, and mission-critical marine equipment. His role centers on ensuring timely delivery of technical and logistical support to maintain continuous naval deployment capabilities, with a focus on contracts governed by Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements. Ferralli’s portfolio emphasizes complex, mission-essential procurements requiring rigorous technical evaluation and supply chain resilience. He maintains strategic relationships with industry leaders such as EXXONMOBIL MARINE LIMITED, VIGOR MARINE LLC, and BOOZ ALLEN HAMILTON INC., partnering with firms capable of delivering specialized marine logistics, shipyard modernization, and defense engineering services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven track records in naval maintenance and maritime infrastructure support, while also integrating smaller specialized vendors for niche technical services. These partnerships are characterized by long-term performance reliability and compliance with naval technical specifications. Ferralli’s procurement strategy allocates approximately one-third of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, he consistently prioritizes small business eligibility in solicitations where market capacity permits, aligning with DoD’s broader socioeconomic goals without reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 335910 (Battery Manufacturing), 493110 (General Warehousing and Storage), and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair and Maintenance), reflecting expertise in procuring energy storage systems, maritime logistics infrastructure, and heavy equipment maintenance services. This technical domain requires deep understanding of naval vessel sustainment cycles, hazardous material handling, and industrial-grade equipment certification standards.
