Anna Guarino

Anna Guarino serves as the primary contracting lead for the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Sigonella Naples Office, where she oversees the acquisition of critical ship repair, maintenance, and modernization services to sustain U.S. Navy and Department of Defense fleet readiness across the Mediterranean theater. Her procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on naval vessel sustainment, managing complex contract actions for dry-dock overhauls, hull and machinery repairs, and propulsion system upgrades under the Ship Building and Repairing NAICS code. She ensures timely delivery of mission-critical services that directly impact naval operational availability, aligning acquisitions with strategic readiness goals and regulatory compliance frameworks. Guarino maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including TERRESTRIS, LLC, RA INTERNATIONAL FZCO, and ALLIUM US HOLDING LLC, all of which possess proven expertise in naval vessel maintenance, marine engineering, and expeditionary logistics support. These partnerships are characterized by long-term performance reliability and technical proficiency in shipyard operations, repair planning, and compliance with naval specifications. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor stability, technical certification, and demonstrated capability in delivering high-integrity maintenance services under austere or forward-deployed conditions. Guarino’s procurement activity reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-aside designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This reflects the specialized nature of the services required, where technical qualifications and vessel-specific expertise take precedence over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, all vendors must meet stringent performance and compliance standards regardless of size. Her industry expertise is singularly concentrated in NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—where she procures heavy industrial services including dry-docking, structural steel replacement, electrical system modernization, and corrosion control. She operates at the intersection of naval engineering and defense logistics, ensuring that all contracted work adheres to Navy Technical Publications and shipyard safety protocols.
