Elisa Allison

Elisa Allison serves as a key procurement professional within the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval vessel readiness through industrial and engineering services. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on ship repair, industrial infrastructure, and specialized maintenance capabilities, ensuring fleet assets remain operationally viable. Her work directly enables critical naval engineering operations by securing essential services and equipment through competitive contracting processes aligned with federal acquisition regulations. Allison maintains consistent partnerships with leading industrial contractors including W. V. Construction Company, Turn Key Scaffolding LLC, and Premier Scaffolding, Inc., which provide specialized marine construction and industrial access solutions. She also collaborates with Fairbanks Morse, LLC for propulsion and power systems support, and The Sherwin-Williams Company for protective coatings and corrosion control services. These relationships reflect a pattern of engaging established vendors with proven expertise in naval environments, while maintaining rigorous compliance with quality and safety standards. A strong advocate for small business participation, Allison consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over 57% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a deliberate strategy to foster economic inclusion and expand the industrial base by directing opportunities toward small, qualified firms capable of delivering specialized shipyard and maintenance services. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), reflecting deep expertise in naval vessel sustainment. She also procures niche industrial goods under 332722 (fastener manufacturing) and 238990 (specialty trade contracting), alongside testing services under 541380. This technical specialization underscores her command of complex maritime engineering requirements and her ability to align acquisition strategy with the Navy’s operational readiness goals.
