Connie Totaro serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk (NAVSUP FLC Norfolk), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain fleet readiness through strategic acquisition of engineering, logistics, and maintenance services. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on technical infrastructure, specialized repair systems, and mission-critical equipment, ensuring alignment with naval operational requirements. Her acquisitions span complex technical domains including environmental control systems, electrical instrumentation, and logistics support services, requiring deep technical understanding and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Totaro maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including Obsidian Global, LLC, Deloitte & Touche LLP, and Computational Physics Inc., reflecting a blend of specialized technical vendors and large-scale professional services providers. Her procurement patterns indicate a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in naval platform sustainment, while also incorporating smaller firms capable of delivering niche engineering and manufacturing solutions. These partnerships are typically structured through competitive sealed bidding and performance-based contract vehicles to ensure accountability and technical fidelity. Her contracting approach reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 40% of her acquisitions set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small businesses without compromising mission-critical capabilities. While no specific set-aside categories dominate, her portfolio consistently includes qualified small businesses in manufacturing and engineering services, reinforcing NAVSUP’s broader goals of workforce development and industrial base resilience. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333415 for air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment, followed by engineering services (541330) and electrical instrumentation manufacturing (334515). This specialization underscores her expertise in procuring climate control systems for naval vessels, precision test equipment, and technical support services essential to fleet sustainment and mission readiness.
