Denise L. Lee

Denise L. Lee serves as a primary contracting professional at the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk (NAVSUP FLC Norfolk), where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical logistics, engineering, and technical services essential to fleet sustainment. Her acquisitions directly support the operational readiness of U.S. Navy platforms by procuring specialized maintenance, IT infrastructure, and workforce development solutions aligned with the Department of the Navy’s strategic priorities. She manages a diverse portfolio of contract actions under FAR Part 12 and Part 15, primarily focusing on service-based procurements that require technical evaluation and performance-based contracting methodologies. Lee maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of high-performing contractors, including OBSIDIAN GLOBAL, LLC for logistics and engineering support, DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP for management and systems consulting, and ADVANIA ISLAND EHF. for specialized technical services. She also collaborates with niche providers such as COMPLETE PARACHUTE SOLUTIONS, INC. and Computational Physics Inc. to address unique operational requirements. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance outcomes, vendor reliability, and long-term partnership development, favoring contractors with proven expertise in naval environments and defense-grade compliance. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, she actively prioritizes small business participation, particularly among service-disabled veteran-owned and HUBZone firms, demonstrating a deliberate effort to expand the defense industrial base while maintaining mission effectiveness. Lee’s technical focus centers on NAICS 541512 and 541519 for computer systems design and related IT services, 518210 for data infrastructure and hosting, 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair, and 611430 for professional and management training. Her expertise lies in procuring integrated technical solutions that enhance naval platform reliability, digital interoperability, and workforce readiness across complex maritime operations.
