David Mirano

David Mirano serves as a key procurement lead within the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard IMF, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain fleet readiness through industrial-scale ship repair and maintenance operations. He manages a portfolio of acquisitions centered on commercial and industrial machinery and equipment leasing, ensuring the shipyard has access to mission-critical support assets required for vessel overhauls and precision maintenance. His work directly enables operational continuity by securing specialized equipment and services that underpin the shipyard’s industrial capabilities, bridging technical requirements with contractual execution in a high-stakes naval maintenance environment. Mirano maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of vendors including Lake Union Drydock Co., Sunbelt Rentals, Inc., Fluke Electronics Corp., Pauley Rodine Inc., and Motive Power Marine, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on providers capable of delivering heavy-duty industrial equipment, diagnostic tools, marine power systems, and specialized rental solutions tailored to naval shipyard environments. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical compatibility, and rapid response capabilities, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to meet the shipyard’s dynamic and mission-critical operational demands. Mirano’s contracting activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability, availability, and performance over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the shipyard’s urgent operational timelines and the specialized nature of required equipment. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, vendors of all sizes are evaluated strictly on their ability to meet stringent naval maintenance standards. His primary procurement focus is NAICS 532490—Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing—indicating deep expertise in acquiring temporary and long-term access to industrial-grade tools, test equipment, cranes, power systems, and specialized marine support machinery. This specialization underscores his technical fluency in industrial logistics and his role in enabling precision maintenance across the naval fleet’s lifecycle.
