Colleen Reilly

Colleen Reilly serves as a Contract Specialist at the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (N55236), part of the Department of the Navy, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex industrial and maintenance acquisitions to sustain naval vessel readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for specialized ship repair infrastructure, precision manufacturing components, and mission-critical industrial equipment, ensuring alignment with naval engineering standards and regulatory compliance. Her portfolio primarily supports the modernization and sustainment of fleet assets through timely procurement of technical services and high-integrity components essential to naval operational availability. Reilly maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including W. V. Construction Company, Turn Key Scaffolding LLC, Premier Scaffolding, Inc., Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and The Sherwin-Williams Company, reflecting a focus on industrial support, protective coatings, and engineered mechanical systems. These partnerships are characterized by long-term engagement in repeat procurements for maintenance, repair, and overhaul services, indicating a preference for proven vendors with demonstrated capability in naval environments and adherence to stringent quality control protocols. Her contracting patterns show a strong preference for unrestricted acquisitions, with 96.2% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, reflecting the technical complexity and specialized nature of the requirements. While small business participation is limited at 3.9%, it is primarily channeled through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating selective but intentional inclusion of qualified small entities when market conditions permit. Reilly’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to precision manufacturing and defense electronics, including 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing), 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), and 332721 (Precision Turned Product Manufacturing). She routinely acquires high-tolerance components, navigation systems, and industrial equipment critical to naval propulsion, control systems, and maintenance infrastructure, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with defense-grade manufacturing standards and supply chain resilience requirements.
