Allaine Benson

Allaine Benson serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), supporting the end-to-end logistics and supply chain operations critical to U.S. Navy and Marine Corps readiness. Responsible for managing complex acquisition programs, Benson oversees the solicitation, award, and administration of contracts for mission-critical materiel and services that sustain global expeditionary forces. Their work ensures timely delivery of operational supplies, repair capabilities, and infrastructure support to forward-deployed units, aligning closely with NAVSUP’s mandate to enhance supply chain resilience and accelerate deployment timelines. Acquisitions under their purview typically involve ship repair, logistics support services, construction, and specialized defense technology integration. Benson maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including FINCANTIERI MARINE REPAIR LLC for naval vessel maintenance, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for base infrastructure projects, and AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC for technical and logistics support solutions. 701C LLC is also a recurring partner, often engaged in specialized supply chain and distribution services. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, performance-driven vendors with proven track records in defense logistics and maritime support environments. The contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and mission alignment over frequent vendor rotation. Benson’s procurement portfolio shows a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This pattern indicates a focus on mission-critical urgency and operational continuity, where contractor capacity, technical capability, and geographic proximity to naval facilities take precedence over socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in award structure, vendors of all sizes compete on merit within open solicitations. Primary procurement activities center on marine repair, construction, logistics support, and defense-related technical services. Though NAICS data is unavailable, the nature of awarded contracts suggests deep engagement with shipyard operations, facility modernization, and expeditionary supply chain infrastructure. Benson’s expertise lies in managing high-stakes, time-sensitive acquisitions that directly impact naval operational readiness across global theaters.
