Alexander Gordon

Alexander Gordon supports the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (N55236) within the Department of the Navy as a key procurement professional responsible for managing industrial and maintenance-related acquisitions critical to naval vessel readiness. He oversees contracts for shipbuilding, repair, and industrial infrastructure services, ensuring the sustained operational availability of fleet assets through timely and compliant procurement actions. His portfolio centers on specialized engineering support, coating systems, and facility maintenance, aligning with the Center’s mission to modernize and sustain naval platforms through robust industrial base partnerships. Gordon maintains longstanding relationships with core contractors including W. V. Construction Company, Turn Key Scaffold LLC, and Premier Scaffold, Inc., for structural and access support services, alongside Fairbanks Morse, LLC for marine propulsion and auxiliary equipment, and The Sherwin-Williams Company for marine-grade protective coatings. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industrial vendors with proven capabilities in naval environments, emphasizing technical compliance, safety standards, and mission-critical delivery timelines. These partnerships are typically sustained through multiple award vehicles and performance-based contract structures. His procurement approach prioritizes open competition, with 81.8% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting a focus on capability over socioeconomic classification. However, he consistently allocates 18.2% of acquisitions to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising mission requirements. This balance ensures access to specialized expertise while supporting the broader defense industrial base. The majority of his acquisitions fall under NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), with additional focus on janitorial services (561720), HVAC and refrigeration equipment (333415), paint and coating manufacturing (325510), and other engine equipment (333618). His technical expertise lies in marine industrial systems, corrosion control, and facility sustainment, making him a critical liaison between naval engineering needs and industrial supply chain execution.
