Alicen Maloney

Alicen Maloney serves as a Contract Specialist at the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (N55236), part of the Department of the Navy, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurements that sustain and modernize naval vessel readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for industrial support services, ship repair capabilities, and specialized equipment leasing, ensuring alignment with fleet maintenance objectives and naval engineering standards. Her acquisitions directly support the center’s mission to maintain operational availability of critical fleet assets through timely, compliant, and mission-driven contracting actions. Maloney maintains strong, ongoing relationships with key contractors including W.V. Construction Company, Turn Key Scaffolding LLC, Premier Scaffolding, Inc., Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and The Sherwin-Williams Company. These partnerships reflect a consistent focus on industrial infrastructure, marine coating systems, and heavy machinery support services essential to shipyard operations. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, with an emphasis on vendors possessing proven expertise in naval maintenance environments and compliance with maritime safety and environmental regulations. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her acquisitions set aside exclusively for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and the other half awarded without set-asides to ensure competitive flexibility. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster small business participation while maintaining access to critical capabilities only available through larger, established contractors with specialized naval experience. Maloney’s primary NAICS focus is on 532490 (Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing), followed by 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and 541330 (Engineering Services). She specializes in procuring heavy equipment leasing, marine structural repair services, and technical engineering support for vessel modernization, demonstrating deep domain expertise in naval industrial operations and lifecycle maintenance contracting.
