Alexandra Hiser

Alexandra P. Hiser serves as a Contract Specialist at Mschq Norfolk under the Department of the Navy, where she plays a pivotal role in securing critical logistics, maintenance, and maritime support services essential to sustaining the operational readiness of U.S. Navy surface and auxiliary vessels. She manages the full lifecycle of complex procurements, including ship repair, deep-sea freight transport, and mission-critical marine equipment, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic mission of fleet sustainment. Her work directly supports the Navy’s ability to maintain continuous deployment capability through timely and technically sound contracting actions. Her primary contractor relationships include ExxonMobil Marine Limited, Vigor Marine LLC, Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., Foreign Policy Research Institute Inc., and Ontic Engineering & Manufacturing, Inc., reflecting a mix of large industry primes with deep maritime, engineering, and technical expertise. She routinely engages vendors capable of delivering specialized marine maintenance, defense-grade engineering services, and advanced testing solutions, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance reliability and technical precision. These relationships are strategically cultivated to meet the Navy’s high-standard operational requirements. Alexandra’s contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong preference for unrestricted competitions, with 84.2% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on capability-driven sourcing rather than socioeconomic preferences. However, she consistently facilitates 15.8% of awards under Total Small Business Set-Asides, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation within the constraints of mission-critical needs and technical complexity. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair), 333618 (other engine equipment manufacturing), and 541380 (testing laboratories), underscoring her expertise in marine systems maintenance, propulsion component sourcing, and technical validation services. She specializes in acquiring high-integrity equipment and services that meet stringent naval specifications, ensuring compliance with military standards and operational safety protocols.
