Courtney W. Severino

Courtney W. Severino serves as a Contract Specialist at the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (N55236), a key operational unit within the Department of the Navy responsible for sustaining naval vessel readiness through industrial-scale maintenance and repair. In this role, Severino manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for critical shipbuilding and repair services, ensuring alignment with naval engineering standards and operational readiness requirements. She specializes in complex, mission-critical acquisitions involving industrial infrastructure, specialized equipment, and technical services essential to maintaining the fleet’s combat capability, often coordinating with engineering, logistics, and quality assurance teams to validate technical compliance and contract performance. Severino maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of industry partners, including W. V. Construction Company, Turn Key Scaffolding LLC, Premier Scaffolding, Inc., Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and The Sherwin-Williams Company. These vendors provide essential scaffolding systems, marine coatings, propulsion components, and heavy industrial construction services tailored to naval shipyard environments. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and technical proficiency, fostering long-term partnerships with contractors who demonstrate proven expertise in naval maintenance contexts and adherence to Department of Defense safety and environmental standards. Severino’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a strategic preference for selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, she ensures all procurements comply with FAR requirements and maintain transparency and fairness in source selection. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), where she acquires specialized services including dry-dock operations, hull and machinery repairs, corrosion control, and industrial equipment installation. This deep specialization underscores her technical expertise in naval industrial support and her role as a critical enabler of fleet sustainment.
