Andrea M Gleason

Andrea M. Gleason serves as a key procurement professional within the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Gf, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval vessels through expert acquisition of industrial and technical services. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on shipbuilding, repair, and mission-critical support systems, ensuring operational readiness of U.S. Navy submarines and surface fleets. Her work encompasses the full lifecycle of acquisition—from requirements validation and source selection to contract administration—with an emphasis on high-integrity components and specialized industrial services essential to naval infrastructure. Gleason maintains strategic partnerships with leading contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation for advanced shipyard modernization, United Rentals for heavy equipment and logistics support, and Kardex Remstar for automated storage and material handling systems. She also collaborates with specialized vendors such as BSE Performance and Patriot Global Lodging to ensure seamless operational support. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industrial partners with proven technical capabilities, while maintaining rigorous compliance with defense acquisition regulations and quality assurance standards. Her procurement approach prioritizes small business participation, with nearly 37% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of contracts remain unrestricted, she consistently facilitates opportunities for small businesses in niche technical domains, aligning with Department of Defense socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical performance requirements. Gleason’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), supported by significant activity in security services (561612), industrial equipment leasing (532490), and relay and control manufacturing (335314). She procures precision fabrication services, mechanical system maintenance, industrial automation, and facility security solutions—domains requiring deep naval engineering expertise and stringent compliance with naval specifications and military standards.
