Dawn Randolph serves as a Contract Specialist at the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (N55236), a key facility within the Department of the Navy responsible for sustaining naval vessel readiness through industrial-scale maintenance and repair. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for critical shipbuilding and repair services, industrial equipment, and facility support systems essential to fleet operational availability. Her acquisitions are strategically aligned with the Center’s mission to modernize naval infrastructure and ensure long-term maritime readiness, with a focus on complex, high-stakes contracts requiring technical oversight and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Randolph maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including W.V. Construction Company, Turn Key Scaffolding LLC, Premier Scaffolding, Inc., Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and The Sherwin-Williams Company. These partnerships reflect her emphasis on vendors with proven expertise in marine industrial services, corrosion protection, heavy machinery repair, and scaffold systems critical to dry-dock and shipyard operations. Her contracting approach prioritizes reliability, safety compliance, and technical capability, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence. A strong advocate for small business participation, Randolph consistently applies Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, which account for over 70% of her acquisitions. She also actively leverages the SBA’s Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) program, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. Her patterns reflect a strategic balance between small business empowerment and mission-critical delivery, ensuring broad vendor engagement while maintaining operational standards. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), which dominates her portfolio, alongside specialized acquisitions in industrial equipment leasing (532490), fan and blower manufacturing (333413), and engineering and management consulting services. This technical domain expertise underscores her proficiency in procuring mission-critical naval industrial systems and supporting services essential to fleet sustainment.
