Denise Manor

Denise Manor serves as a key procurement lead at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard IMF, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain fleet readiness through industrial maintenance and ship repair operations. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts covering critical naval infrastructure, industrial services, and technical support systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and operational readiness standards. Her work directly enables the lifecycle management of naval vessels by facilitating timely procurement of specialized maintenance capabilities, safety services, and mission-critical industrial supplies. Manor maintains consistent relationships with core contractors including Lake Union Drydock Co., Sunbelt Rentals, Inc., Flukey Electronics Corp., Pauley Rodine Inc., and Motive Power Marine, LLC. These partnerships reflect a strategic focus on industrial maintenance, precision instrumentation, equipment rental, and marine power systems. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor reliability, technical proficiency in naval environments, and performance-based service delivery, fostering collaborative, mission-aligned relationships with vendors capable of meeting stringent Navy quality and safety requirements. Her procurement approach prioritizes open competition, with 80% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions, while maintaining a deliberate 20% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balance ensures broad market access while actively supporting small business participation in complex naval industrial work, aligning with DoN socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical performance standards. Manor’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 325510 (Paint and Coating Manufacturing), 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), and 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing). She routinely acquires marine-grade protective coatings, integrated security and access control services, and heavy industrial repair capabilities essential to vessel sustainment. Her expertise spans technical domains including corrosion control, naval facility security, and drydock operations, ensuring acquisitions directly support the shipyard’s core function of maintaining fleet combat readiness.
