Andrea Galbreaith

Andrea Galbreaith serves as a key procurement lead at Navsup Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound, supporting the operational readiness of U.S. Navy surface and submarine fleets through the acquisition of mission-critical marine engineering systems. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for industrial-grade air-conditioning, heating, and refrigeration equipment essential to vessel environmental control, propulsion cooling, and habitability systems. Her work directly enables the Navy’s sustainment strategy by ensuring the reliability and longevity of onboard climate control infrastructure across complex naval platforms. Galbreaith specializes in technical solicitations requiring precision engineering compliance, military specification adherence, and rigorous quality assurance protocols. She maintains consistent partnerships with leading industrial suppliers including Timken Gears & Services Inc., Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corp, Bellingham Marine Industries, Palfinger Marine USA, and Jered LLC. These relationships are built on proven capability in delivering ruggedized, naval-certified HVAC and thermal management systems tailored to harsh maritime environments. Galbreaith’s contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based requirements, and technical validation to ensure seamless integration with naval vessel architectures. Galbreaith demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient supplier base of qualified small manufacturers capable of meeting stringent naval standards. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small businesses with expertise in precision fabrication, thermal systems, and marine-grade mechanical components, fostering economic inclusion while maintaining mission-critical performance. Her primary procurement focus is NAICS 333415, encompassing commercial and industrial refrigeration and HVAC equipment designed for marine applications. She specializes in procuring chilled water systems, seawater-cooled heat exchangers, condensing units, and climate control assemblies that meet MIL-SPEC and NAVSEA requirements. Galbreaith’s technical domain expertise lies in thermal management systems critical to electronics cooling, crew habitability, and machinery room environmental control aboard Navy vessels.
