Christina Martinez

Christina Martinez serves as a key procurement lead within the Military Sealift Fleet Support Command Norfolk, supporting the sustainment and modernization of the U.S. Navy’s non-combatant fleet. She manages acquisitions for critical marine engineering services, including propulsion system overhauls, marine HVAC repairs, navigation instrumentation upgrades, and shipyard infrastructure support. Her work directly enables operational readiness by ensuring timely delivery of industrial and technical services essential to maintaining the government-owned vessels that underpin global maritime logistics. She operates within a framework of full and open competition, consistently prioritizing technical capability and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic set-asides. Martinez’s contractor relationships are primarily with established defense industrial base vendors specializing in naval vessel maintenance, marine systems integration, and heavy industrial repair. She engages with a network of qualified contractors possessing DOD facility clearances, Navy-certified shipyard credentials, and expertise in naval architecture and marine mechanical systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in proven technical performance, quality assurance compliance, and adherence to Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) technical specifications. Her contracting activity reflects a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides. This reflects a mission-driven focus on securing the highest technical capability to support complex, safety-critical vessel sustainment operations where specialized expertise outweighs socioeconomic preferences. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 721110 — Hotels (except Casino Hotels) and Motels — a misclassification that suggests a data anomaly within the system. In practice, her actual technical domain involves marine engineering, industrial maintenance, and ship repair services, not hospitality. This discrepancy indicates a need for NAICS code correction to accurately reflect her true procurement portfolio, which is rooted in naval vessel sustainment and defense logistics support.
