Bobby Martinez

Bobby Martinez supports the procurement mission of Navsup Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound by managing critical acquisitions that sustain the readiness of U.S. Navy surface and submarine fleets. He oversees the acquisition of marine engineering systems, structural components, and industrial maintenance services essential to vessel integrity and operational longevity. His portfolio includes complex contracts for shipbuilding materials, mechanical subsystems, and precision-fabricated hardware, ensuring compliance with naval technical specifications and lifecycle sustainment requirements. Martinez plays a pivotal role in aligning acquisition strategies with the Navy’s fleet modernization and maintenance goals. He maintains consistent working relationships with leading industrial suppliers including Timken Gears & Services Inc., Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corp, Bellingham Marine Industries, Palfinger Marine USA, and Jered LLC. These partnerships focus on high-integrity components such as propulsion systems, electro-mechanical controls, marine lifting equipment, and specialized valves—products requiring rigorous certification and naval-grade durability. His contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, supply chain reliability, and long-term vendor performance accountability. Martinez demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over half of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to engage qualified small manufacturers and industrial contractors, fostering a diverse supplier base capable of meeting demanding naval specifications. While no set-aside remains prevalent, the consistent emphasis on small business opportunities underscores a proactive effort to expand capability and innovation within the defense industrial base. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), with significant activity in industrial valve manufacturing (332911), HVAC and refrigeration systems (333415), and fabricated structural metal (332312). He specializes in sourcing mission-critical hardware for naval propulsion, environmental control, and structural reinforcement systems, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with naval engineering standards and material certifications required for maritime environments.
