Alicia Mitchell

Alicia N. Mitchell serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Bahrain, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain forward-deployed naval forces across the Middle East. She manages complex acquisitions for ship repair, maintenance, and logistical support services critical to maintaining combat-ready surface vessels. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts under the Navy’s expeditionary logistics framework, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical vessel upkeep and infrastructure support. Mitchell’s work directly enables maritime domain awareness and fleet availability by securing specialized technical services that uphold operational readiness in austere environments. Mitchell collaborates with a broad spectrum of qualified vendors specializing in naval shipyard services, marine engineering, and expeditionary logistics. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing relevant DOD certifications, marine industry expertise, and proven capacity to deliver on-time, mission-critical repairs under dynamic operational conditions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, strict compliance with naval technical specifications, and rigorous contractor accountability to ensure quality and safety standards are met across all awarded efforts. Mitchell’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects the urgency and specialized nature of the requirements, which demand immediate access to highly technical, globally available capabilities. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic set-asides, she ensures fair opportunity for all qualified offerors, including small businesses capable of meeting stringent naval repair and maintenance standards. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—where she procures heavy vessel dry-docking, hull and machinery repairs, propulsion system overhauls, and corrosion control services. Mitchell’s technical expertise spans naval engineering standards, naval vessel maintenance cycles, and expeditionary repair logistics, making her a critical link in sustaining the U.S. Navy’s forward-deployed fleet readiness in the Indo-Pacific and Middle East regions.
