Edwin Baldoria

Edwin Baldoria serves as a secondary procurement support specialist at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard IMF, contributing to the Department of the Navy’s mission of sustaining fleet readiness through industrial maintenance and shipyard infrastructure support. While not a primary contracting officer, he plays a critical role in facilitating acquisition planning, vendor coordination, and contract administration for mission-critical industrial services. His work primarily supports complex maintenance, repair, and fabrication activities essential to naval vessel lifecycle management, ensuring timely delivery of components and systems critical to operational availability. Baldoria maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of industrial contractors, including LAKE UNION DRYDOCK CO, SUNBELT RENTALS, INC, FLUKE ELECTRONICS CORP, PAULEY RODINE INC, and MOTIVE POWER MARINE, LLC. These partnerships reflect a reliance on specialized vendors capable of delivering precision mechanical components, industrial rental equipment, calibration services, and marine propulsion support. His procurement patterns indicate a preference for established contractors with proven track records in naval industrial environments, emphasizing reliability, regulatory compliance, and technical expertise in high-stakes maintenance operations. His acquisition portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 53% of procurements structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster competition and capability development among small industrial firms, aligning with Department of the Navy socioeconomic goals. While no specific set-aside programs like 8(a) or HUBZone dominate, the consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a proactive approach to broadening vendor diversity within the shipyard’s supply chain. Baldoria’s procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 332919 (metal valve and pipe fitting manufacturing), 333998 (miscellaneous machinery), and 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair), indicating deep engagement with precision metal fabrication, industrial equipment maintenance, and specialized fluid systems. His technical domain expertise lies in supporting shipyard infrastructure through fabricated components, calibration tools, and mechanical systems essential to vessel sustainment operations.
