Christina P. Martinez

Christina P. Martinez serves as a Contract Specialist with the Military Sealift Fleet Support Command Norfolk (N40442), where she manages the acquisition of critical maintenance, repair, and modernization services for the U.S. Navy’s non-combatant fleet. Her work directly supports the operational readiness of government-owned vessels by ensuring timely procurement of engineering, mechanical, and industrial support services—particularly in propulsion systems, marine HVAC, and navigation instrumentation. She handles a diverse portfolio of contract actions under FAR Part 12 and Part 13, including task orders, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, and sole-source justifications for specialized maritime systems. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Martinez maintains established relationships with a broad base of vendors specializing in naval vessel sustainment, including industrial service providers, marine equipment manufacturers, and technical support firms. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based service delivery and rigorous technical evaluation, fostering long-term partnerships with suppliers capable of meeting stringent Department of Defense maintenance standards and certification requirements. Martinez’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 84.6% of actions not set aside, indicating a focus on maximizing market competition. However, she consistently facilitates 15.4% of acquisitions through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating active support for small business participation without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Ship Building and Repairing (336611), reflecting her core expertise in vessel sustainment, and Hotels and Motels (721110), which likely supports transient crew accommodations and fleet support infrastructure. Additional categories such as Radio and Television Broadcasting Equipment Manufacturing (334220) and Paint, Varnish, and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers (424950) indicate procurement of specialized communications gear and marine coating systems, underscoring her technical proficiency across maritime logistics domains.
