Christina M. Bowman

Christina M. Bowman serves as a Contracting Officer at the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (N55236), part of the Department of the Navy, where she is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of industrial and shipbuilding procurement actions. Her role is critical to sustaining naval vessel readiness, ensuring the timely acquisition of specialized maintenance, repair, and industrial support services essential to fleet operational availability. She primarily handles complex, mission-critical contracts under the NAICS 336611 classification, focusing on ship repair, structural modifications, and related engineering services. Bowman’s acquisitions require rigorous technical oversight, compliance with naval engineering standards, and coordination with shipyard personnel and naval architects to meet stringent operational requirements. She maintains long-standing relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including W. V. Construction Company, Turn Key Scaffolding LLC, Premier Scaffolding, Inc., Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and The Sherwin-Williams Company. These partnerships reflect a focus on firms with proven expertise in marine construction, industrial coating systems, propulsion equipment, and heavy scaffolding solutions for shipyard environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and contractor reliability, often renewing engagements with vendors who consistently deliver high-quality, on-schedule work in high-stakes maintenance settings. Bowman’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside strategy, indicating a preference for full and open competition across the industrial base. While she does not routinely utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach prioritizes technical capability and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the Navy’s need for rapid, high-fidelity industrial support. Her primary industry focus is NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—where she procures a broad range of services including dry-dock repairs, hull and structural steelwork, marine coating applications, propulsion system maintenance, and industrial scaffolding systems. Her expertise lies in navigating the technical complexities of naval vessel sustainment, ensuring contracts support the Navy’s enduring mission to maintain combat-ready fleet assets.
