Angela McLean

Angela McLean serves as a key procurement lead at the Southeast Regional Maintenance Center, supporting the U.S. Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize its surface fleet through expert management of ship repair and maintenance contracts. She oversees the acquisition of critical services and materials essential to dry-docking, structural overhauls, and hull and machinery upgrades, ensuring vessels remain combat-ready under NAICS 336611. Her role is central to executing the Center’s strategic priorities of extending ship service life and integrating advanced system upgrades, with a focus on complex, technically demanding procurements that require deep naval engineering oversight. McLean cultivates strong partnerships with a diverse base of qualified vendors specializing in naval shipyard services, marine coatings, and industrial fabrication. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, her contracting patterns reflect consistent collaboration with firms possessing Navy-qualified ship repair certifications, marine welding expertise, and hazardous material handling capabilities. She prioritizes vendors with proven track records in Department of Defense shipyard environments and fosters long-term relationships built on compliance, quality assurance, and timely delivery under performance-based contract structures. A steadfast advocate for small business inclusion, McLean consistently directs 90% of her acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. Her portfolio frequently awards contracts to small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZone firms, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses with niche capabilities in ship maintenance and corrosion control, aligning with Navy-wide initiatives to broaden the industrial base and enhance resilience. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336611 (shipbuilding and repair), where she manages complex contracts for structural steelwork, propulsion system overhauls, and dry-dock services. She also procures specialized marine coatings under NAICS 325510, ensuring compliance with Navy paint specifications for anti-fouling, corrosion resistance, and environmental safety. McLean’s expertise spans technical evaluation of shipyard work scopes, inspection protocols, and regulatory adherence, making her a pivotal figure in sustaining the Navy’s surface fleet readiness.
