Alene Arnott

Alene Arnott serves as a key procurement professional within the Supply of Shipbuilding Conv and Repair (N62793), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize the U.S. fleet through specialized shipyard services and infrastructure upgrades. Responsible for managing complex acquisition programs, Arnott oversees contracts for mission-critical engineering, fabrication, and maintenance support services essential to naval vessel readiness. Her work spans the full lifecycle of shipbuilding and repair contracts, with a focus on technical domains requiring precision manufacturing, structural integrity, and operational continuity in austere environments. Arnott maintains consistent working relationships with VPRIME TECH INC and VICEROY LLC, both of which provide specialized technical and logistical support for naval shipyard operations. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven expertise in naval infrastructure adaptation, including custom fabrication, crane system integration, and port-level logistics. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, requiring stringent compliance with naval specifications and quality assurance protocols for mission-critical components. A strong advocate for small business participation, Arnott prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, with approximately two-thirds of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to expand the industrial base and foster innovation among non-traditional defense suppliers, aligning with Department of Defense socioeconomic goals. Her portfolio consistently includes awards to firms certified under multiple small business programs, reinforcing equitable access to naval procurement opportunities. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Painting and Wall Covering Contractors, Miscellaneous Wood Product Manufacturing, Overhead Traveling Crane and Monorail System Manufacturing, Port and Harbor Operations, and All Other Consumer Goods Rental. These reflect a unique blend of industrial support services essential to shipyard functionality—from corrosion control and material handling to temporary equipment leasing and terminal logistics. Arnott’s expertise lies in integrating these disparate but interdependent service lines into cohesive, mission-enabling contracts that maintain fleet operational tempo.
