Elizabeth Collins

Elizabeth Collins serves as a Contract Specialist at Norfolk Naval Shipyard Gf (N42158), where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex procurement actions that sustain the operational readiness of U.S. Navy vessels. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from requirement validation and solicitation development to contract award and administration—she ensures compliance with federal regulations and naval industrial policies. Her portfolio primarily centers on shipbuilding, repair, and specialized engineering services critical to maintaining the Navy’s fleet integrity, with a focus on precision machinery, marine systems, and industrial support activities that align with the shipyard’s mission of extending vessel service life through technical excellence and regulatory adherence. Collins maintains consistent, long-term partnerships with key contractors 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 relationships are built on proven technical capability in naval maintenance, turbine systems, and marine repair services. She favors vendors with demonstrated expertise in naval shipyard environments and a track record of compliance with Department of Defense quality and safety standards, fostering reliable, performance-based contracting arrangements. Her procurement activity reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-aside designations. This underscores a strategic focus on maximizing technical capability and industrial capacity rather than socioeconomic targeting, prioritizing mission-critical outcomes over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), which accounts for 60% of her portfolio, followed by NAICS 333611 (Turbine and Turbine Generator Set Units Manufacturing) and NAICS 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation). She specializes in procuring heavy machinery overhaul, propulsion system upgrades, and industrial support services essential to sustaining naval surface fleet readiness.
