Dana Legette-Feltham

Dana Legette-Feltham serves as a key procurement professional within the Military Sealift Fleet Support Command Norfolk, supporting the operational readiness of the U.S. Navy’s non-combatant, government-owned vessels. Responsible for managing acquisitions related to marine engineering, vessel repair, and critical shipboard system modernization, she ensures timely delivery of maintenance and sustainment services essential to the maritime logistics fleet. Her work directly enables the agency’s mission to maintain propulsion systems, marine HVAC, navigation instrumentation, and industrial repair infrastructure through strategic contracting and lifecycle support planning. While specific contractor names are not available, Legette-Feltham consistently engages with a diverse pool of industrial and technical vendors specializing in naval vessel maintenance, mechanical power transmission, and marine systems repair. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for partners with proven expertise in shipyard-level services, industrial machinery overhaul, and maritime communication equipment, fostering long-term vendor relationships grounded in technical compliance and performance accountability. She demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 75% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate capabilities among small, qualified firms, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs, enhancing competition and innovation within the naval support industrial base. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), with significant activity in 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair) and 333618 (other engine equipment manufacturing). She routinely procures services and components related to propulsion system overhauls, marine electrical systems, mechanical power transmission units, and shipboard communications equipment, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with naval engineering domains and the specialized supply chain required to sustain the Military Sealift Command’s fleet.
