Brittany N Chartier

Brittany N. Chartier serves as a key procurement professional within the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard IMF, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain fleet readiness through complex ship repair and industrial maintenance acquisitions. She manages a focused portfolio of contracts under NAICS 336611, specializing in vessel overhaul, structural refurbishment, and mission-critical system integration for naval surface ships.

Chartier maintains enduring relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including Lake Union Drydock Co., Sunbelt Rentals, Inc., Fluke Electronics Corp., Pauley Rodine Inc., and Motive Power Marine, LLC. These partnerships reflect a strategic alignment with vendors possessing deep maritime industrial expertise, from heavy lifting and crane operations to precision diagnostics and marine power systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical proficiency, regulatory compliance, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional procurement, fostering collaborative relationships grounded in mission-critical performance standards. A strong advocate for small business participation, Chartier consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately 71% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity within the maritime industrial base while ensuring access to agile, specialized capabilities often held by niche providers. Her socioeconomic contracting strategy aligns with Department of Defense mandates to enhance competition and innovation through small business engagement. Her procurement domain is exclusively centered on NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—reflecting deep technical expertise in naval vessel maintenance, drydock operations, propulsion system overhauls, and marine electrical and mechanical integration. She procures high-integrity industrial services requiring stringent naval standards, including corrosion control, non-destructive testing, and classified system upgrades, ensuring all acquisitions meet the rigorous safety and operational demands of the U.S. Navy fleet.
