Carley Flaxman

Carley Flaxman serves as a MAMCO (Military Acquisition and Management Contracting Officer) at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center under the Department of the Navy, where she leads the procurement of critical shipbuilding and repair components essential to naval surface fleet readiness. Her role encompasses the full lifecycle management of contracts for structural metal systems, mechanical subsystems, and precision-engineered ship components, ensuring alignment with naval engineering standards and maintenance timelines. Flaxman’s acquisitions directly support the sustainment and modernization of naval platforms, requiring rigorous technical evaluation and compliance with naval specifications for durability, safety, and interoperability. She maintains longstanding relationships with key industrial partners including Fairlead Boatworks, Inc., General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc., Howard W. Pence, Inc., and KAMPI Components Co., Inc., all of which provide specialized shipyard services, metal fabrication, and mechanical system integration. These partnerships are characterized by consistent performance, technical reliability, and deep domain expertise in naval maintenance environments. Flaxman’s contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, with repeat engagements reflecting trust in contractor capabilities and adherence to quality assurance protocols. Flaxman’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, her contracting strategy remains focused on technical merit and mission-critical performance, ensuring the highest standards of readiness are met through competitive sourcing. Her primary focus lies within NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), where she procures structural steel assemblies, hull components, propulsion subsystems, and repair kits tailored to naval surface vessels. Flaxman’s expertise centers on complex industrial-scale acquisitions requiring compliance with Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) technical manuals and shipyard integration requirements, making her a pivotal figure in sustaining the operational integrity of the Navy’s surface fleet.
