Benjamin Levasseur

Benjamin Levasseur serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA HQ), where he plays a central role in executing the acquisition of naval vessels and mission-critical shipbuilding systems. Responsible for managing complex contract actions under NAICS 336611, he supports NAVSEA’s core mission of sustaining and modernizing the U.S. Navy’s fleet through lifecycle management of surface and undersea platforms. His work encompasses full-spectrum shipbuilding and repair acquisitions, including hull integration, propulsion systems, and combat system upgrades, ensuring technical compliance with Navy engineering standards and operational readiness requirements. Levasseur maintains strategic relationships with leading defense prime contractors including Damen Shipbuilding & Cooperation B.V., Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC. These partnerships reflect a reliance on large, experienced shipbuilders and systems integrators capable of delivering high-complexity, mission-essential platforms under stringent Navy specifications. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based requirements, risk mitigation in long-lead procurement, and close coordination with naval engineering teams to align contractual deliverables with technical and operational needs. Levasseur’s procurement portfolio 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 pattern underscores a mission-critical emphasis on capacity, technical maturity, and industrial base capability over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with NAVSEA’s requirement for proven shipbuilding infrastructure and systems integration expertise. His primary industry focus is exclusively on NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—where he procures advanced naval vessels, dry-docking services, structural modifications, and integrated combat systems. His technical domain expertise spans naval architecture, marine propulsion, and shipboard electronics integration, ensuring acquisitions meet the Navy’s enduring standards for survivability, interoperability, and maritime dominance.
