Andrew Skelley

Andrew Skelley serves as a secondary procurement support specialist at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard IMF (N4523A), operating under the Department of the Navy. He plays a critical role in facilitating the acquisition of industrial and shipyard support services essential to maintaining fleet readiness. His responsibilities include coordinating contract execution, managing vendor compliance, and supporting the lifecycle management of naval vessel maintenance programs. Skelley primarily handles complex procurements related to ship repair, industrial machinery maintenance, and precision manufacturing services, ensuring alignment with Navy technical standards and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) compliance. He works closely with senior contracting officers to execute strategic sourcing initiatives that sustain the operational availability of the U.S. Navy’s surface fleet. Skelley maintains consistent working relationships with key industrial contractors including Lake Union Drydock Co., Sunbelt Rentals, Inc., Fluke Electronics Corp., Pauley Rodine Inc., and Motive Power Marine, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized shipyard services, diagnostic instrumentation, heavy equipment rental, and mechanical system repair. His procurement patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in naval infrastructure support, emphasizing reliability, regulatory adherence, and technical capability over broad market competition. His contracting activity shows a strong preference for open competition, with 81.8% of awards issued without set-aside designation, while 18.2% are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balance reflects a pragmatic approach to meeting mission-critical timelines while still actively engaging qualified small businesses in non-complex, service-oriented procurements. Skelley’s procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), which accounts for over 70% of activity, alongside significant engagement in NAICS 811310 for industrial machinery maintenance. His work centers on precision repair, structural refurbishment, and industrial system overhaul services critical to naval vessel sustainment, demonstrating deep domain expertise in maritime industrial operations and defense logistics.
