Andrew Fiske

Andrew Fiske serves as a Contract Specialist within the Military Sealift Command (MSC), where he plays a critical role in executing procurement actions that sustain the nation’s strategic sealift capabilities. He manages the acquisition of deep-sea freight transportation services essential to the global mobility of U.S. naval forces, ensuring timely delivery of fuel, equipment, and supplies via government-owned and chartered vessels. His work directly supports MSC’s mission to maintain a responsive, ready, and resilient maritime logistics infrastructure, with a focus on complex, performance-based contracts for oceanborne transport under the Department of Defense’s maritime logistics framework. Fiske collaborates with a diverse array of maritime contractors, including U.S.-flagged vessel operators, ocean transport providers, and specialized logistics firms that meet stringent DoD standards for vessel safety, crew qualifications, and operational readiness. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, multi-year agreements that emphasize reliability, fleet availability, and integrated maintenance support. He works closely with vendors who demonstrate proven experience in global port operations, military charter requirements, and compliance with the Jones Act and other maritime statutes. Fiske’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. While he does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his approach ensures rigorous competition among qualified maritime carriers, prioritizing capability, capacity, and mission alignment over socioeconomic categorization. His primary focus lies within NAICS 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation), where he procures specialized ocean transportation services for bulk cargo, fuel, and military equipment across strategic maritime routes. Fiske brings deep technical expertise in vessel chartering, marine logistics contracting, and performance-based service acquisition, ensuring that MSC’s sealift assets remain operationally effective and compliant with national defense transportation standards.
