Chelsea McNeely

Chelsea McNeely serves as a primary contracting professional at Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville (NAVSUP FLC Jacksonville), where she plays a central role in securing mission-critical logistics, maintenance, and technical support services for U.S. Navy fleet operations. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mandate to sustain naval platforms and ensure crew readiness, focusing on procurement vehicles that enable timely delivery of repair, engineering, and supply chain solutions. Her work directly supports the operational endurance of naval assets through the acquisition of specialized equipment, maintenance services, and technical consulting contracts essential to shipboard systems and infrastructure. McNeely maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Stronghold SOF Solutions LLC, Gemini Tech Services LLC, Emerald Isle Federal Services, LLC, First Division Consulting Inc., and Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corp. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in naval maintenance, electro-mechanical systems, and logistics consulting. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on experienced industry partners capable of delivering complex, mission-essential services under time-sensitive operational timelines, often through indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and other flexible contract mechanisms. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 73% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating over 21% of awards to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with additional support for women-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This balanced approach ensures market competition while fostering socioeconomic diversity among vendors. McNeely’s technical focus centers on NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting deep engagement with naval propulsion systems, mechanical repair, and electro-mechanical component maintenance. She also procures services under 811310 and 334511, demonstrating expertise in industrial machinery repair and nautical instrumentation, underscoring her specialization in sustaining complex naval hardware across multiple technical domains.
