Brian Fergus

Brian Fergus serves as a Contract Specialist at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard IMF (N4523A), under the Department of the Navy, where he plays a critical role in executing complex industrial and shipyard support acquisitions. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with Navy readiness objectives. His portfolio primarily encompasses ship repair, maintenance, and industrial infrastructure contracts, with a focus on mission-critical naval vessel sustainment. Fergus ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while balancing operational urgency with fiscal responsibility, directly supporting the shipyard’s mandate to maintain fleet availability through precision industrial services. Fergus maintains consistent working relationships with key industrial partners including LAKE UNION DRYDOCK CO, SUNBELT RENTALS, INC, FLUKE ELECTRONICS CORP, PAULEY RODINE INC, and MOTIVE POWER MARINE, LLC. These contractors provide specialized services ranging from drydock operations and mechanical systems maintenance to precision calibration and marine power solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, technical competency, and performance history, fostering stable partnerships that support the shipyard’s high-stakes maintenance cycles and technical requirements. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted (71.4%), Fergus demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, consistently allocating 28.6% of contracts as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He actively prioritizes small business eligibility and capability assessments, ensuring equitable access for qualified firms without reliance on socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), reflecting deep expertise in naval vessel lifecycle support. He also procures specialized industrial components under NAICS codes including rubber and plastics hosing (326220), machine tool manufacturing (333517), turbine systems (333611), and metal coating services (332812), demonstrating a technical understanding of marine engineering systems and industrial supply chains essential to fleet sustainment.
