Brittney Meurrens

Brittney Meurrens serves as a key procurement professional within the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Gf, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval vessel integrity. She manages complex acquisitions for heavy-gauge metal fabrication and industrial support services critical to submarine and surface ship maintenance. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts that ensure the reliability of high-integrity components, including pressure vessels, tank systems, and specialized mechanical assemblies. Her work directly enables the shipyard’s operational readiness goals through precision engineering procurement and supply chain coordination. Meurrens maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of industrial contractors, including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation for advanced fabrication and systems integration, United Rentals for heavy equipment and logistics support, Kardex Remstar for automated material handling systems, BSE Performance for specialized industrial services, and Patriot Global Lodging for mission-critical personnel support. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, technically capable vendors with proven experience in naval industrial environments and stringent quality control standards. Her procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability and mission-critical delivery over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing vendor performance, compliance with naval specifications, and industrial capacity over certification-based targeting. The agency’s procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 332420, Metal Tank (Heavy Gauge) Manufacturing, indicating deep specialization in the fabrication of large-scale, welded steel pressure vessels, storage tanks, and structural components for naval propulsion and auxiliary systems. Meurrens’ expertise lies in procuring engineered metal fabrication services that meet Navy MIL-SPEC and ASME Code requirements, demonstrating advanced technical knowledge in welding processes, non-destructive testing, and naval industrial standards.
