Andrea Panagoulias

Andrea G. Panagoulias serves as a key procurement professional within the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Gf, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize U.S. Navy submarines and surface vessels. Responsible for managing complex acquisition programs, she oversees the contracting lifecycle for critical shipbuilding, repair, and industrial support services. Her work ensures the operational readiness of naval assets through precise procurement of high-integrity components, mechanical systems, and specialized logistics support. She routinely handles firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on technical compliance and mission-critical delivery timelines. Panagoulias maintains strategic relationships with major defense and industrial contractors, including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation for advanced shipyard modernization and United Rentals (North America), Inc. for heavy equipment leasing. She also collaborates with Patriot Global Lodging LLC for transient housing support and Kardex Remstar, LLC for automated storage and retrieval systems. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, high-capacity vendors with proven track records in naval industrial environments, emphasizing reliability, regulatory compliance, and technical expertise over frequent vendor rotation. Her procurement portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a focus on mission urgency and technical necessity over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the shipyard’s operational imperatives. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, vendors are selected based on capability, capacity, and readiness to meet stringent naval standards. The primary NAICS focus is 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), encompassing dry-dock services, hull fabrication, propulsion system overhauls, and nuclear-compatible component integration. A secondary focus on 532490 reflects procurement of specialized industrial machinery and equipment leasing essential for maintenance operations. Her expertise lies in the technical domains of naval architecture, marine engineering, and defense industrial base logistics.
