Eboni Uwuseba

Eboni Uwuseba serves as a primary procurement lead at Norfolk Naval Shipyard Gf, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to maintain and modernize critical naval vessels through industrial and engineering services. In this role, she manages a portfolio of contracts focused on ship repair, maintenance, and specialized technical support, ensuring fleet readiness through compliance-driven acquisition strategies. Her work directly enables the shipyard’s operational sustainability by facilitating timely access to mission-critical industrial capabilities, with a strong emphasis on precision engineering, machinery overhaul, and regulatory adherence in naval maintenance programs. Uwuseba maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in marine industrial services, including G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, OWL INTERNATIONAL INC., AMEE BAY, LLC, MID ATLANTIC ENGINEERING TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC., and MILLS MARINE & SHIP REPAIR LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in naval vessel repair, machinery leasing, and technical support services tailored to Department of Defense standards. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and long-term vendor collaboration to sustain complex shipyard operations. A strong advocate for small business participation, Uwuseba consistently prioritizes Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, with over 63% of her acquisitions designated for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity within the maritime industrial base while ensuring access to agile, specialized service providers capable of meeting the shipyard’s demanding technical requirements. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a sustained commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical performance standards. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), accounting for nearly three-quarters of her activity, with additional emphasis on NAICS 532490 for the leasing of specialized industrial machinery. She routinely acquires services related to dry-dock maintenance, propulsion system overhauls, electrical and mechanical retrofitting, and heavy equipment leasing—domains requiring deep technical familiarity with naval vessel systems and federal acquisition regulations.
