Arlene F. Fitzpatrick

Arlene F. Fitzpatrick serves as a Contract Specialist within the Commander (M00264) under the Department of the Navy, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval warfighting capabilities. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning systems engineering, cyber-enabled command and control architectures, tactical computing environments, and specialized defense equipment. Her work directly supports operational readiness by ensuring timely delivery of advanced sensor, communication, and armored vehicle systems aligned with naval modernization priorities. Fitzpatrick specializes in complex, technical procurements requiring rigorous compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations, often involving integrated hardware-software solutions for expeditionary and fleet-level applications. Fitzpatrick maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including Goldbelt Hawk L.L.C., Alex-Alternative Experts, LLC, Tnda Technologies Inc., BC Market Solutions LLC, and Biospace, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in defense systems integration, technical advisory services, and niche engineering support. Her procurement patterns indicate a focus on long-term, performance-based engagements with contractors who demonstrate deep domain knowledge in naval operational environments and cybersecurity resilience. Her contracting activity is overwhelmingly classified as No Set-Aside (90.9%), reflecting the technical complexity and urgency of mission requirements that often necessitate broad competition. However, she maintains a deliberate 9.1% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced approach that prioritizes capability while supporting small business participation where feasible. Fitzpatrick’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 221114 (Solar Electric Power Generation) and 541330 (Engineering Services), each accounting for 18.2% of her portfolio, underscoring her expertise in energy resilience and systems engineering for naval platforms. Additional emphasis on 336413 (Aircraft Parts) and 423720 (Hydronics) reveals a multidisciplinary approach to sustaining mission-critical infrastructure, from power generation to thermal management systems. Her technical domain spans embedded systems, tactical communications, and energy-efficient defense infrastructure.
