Elizabeth Marston

Elizabeth Marston serves as a key procurement lead within the Mid Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval surface platforms. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts for critical shipbuilding components, structural metal systems, and industrial support services essential to fleet readiness. Her work centers on acquiring fabricated metal products, mechanical subsystems, and facilities support solutions that ensure the operational integrity of naval vessels and shore infrastructure. She interfaces closely with industrial contractors to deliver precision maintenance and repair capabilities aligned with Navy technical specifications and lifecycle sustainment requirements. Marston maintains strong, recurring relationships with core contractors including Fairlead Boatworks, Inc., General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc., Howard W. Pence, Inc., and Kampi Components Co., Inc., reflecting a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in naval fabrication and industrial services. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on long-term partnerships with firms possessing specialized capabilities in shipyard maintenance, metal fabrication, and systems integration, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and cost-reimbursement contract vehicles to meet dynamic operational demands. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 65% of awards issued without set-asides, yet she maintains a robust commitment to small business participation, allocating nearly 34% of contracts to small business set-asides, including 28.3% under Total Small Business Set-Aside authority and 5% to 8(a) firms. This balanced approach ensures competitive pricing while fostering economic opportunity for qualified small and disadvantaged businesses. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), with significant activity in 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and 332999 (Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing). She specializes in procuring structural steel assemblies, marine-grade mechanical components, and facility maintenance services critical to naval platform sustainment and industrial base resilience.
