Charles Feldman

Charles A. Feldman serves as a key procurement lead within the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard IMF, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize the fleet through complex ship repair and industrial infrastructure contracts. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on naval vessel maintenance, mechanical overhauls, and mission-critical system refurbishment, ensuring operational readiness through precision engineering and industrial support services. His work directly enables the shipyard’s core function of delivering long-term fleet sustainment, requiring deep technical understanding of naval systems and compliance with defense acquisition regulations. Feldman maintains longstanding relationships with prime contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Pacific Industrial Equipment Corp, XLEAGLE LLC, Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and Philip Rieke. These partnerships reflect a reliance on established industrial vendors with proven expertise in marine propulsion, heavy machinery, electrical systems, and specialized shipyard equipment. His contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes and technical fidelity, often involving long-term service agreements and maintenance support contracts requiring rigorous quality assurance protocols. His procurement approach prioritizes open competition, with 73.3% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting the technical complexity and specialized nature of shipyard requirements. However, he consistently supports small business participation, allocating 26.7% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both mission-critical capability and socioeconomic contracting goals. Feldman’s primary focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), which accounts for over 64% of his portfolio, encompassing hull modifications, propulsion system upgrades, and dry-dock infrastructure support. He also procures specialized services in testing laboratories, professional training for shipyard personnel, and computer-related technical support, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to sustaining naval readiness through integrated industrial capabilities.
