Elizabeth Marston

Elizabeth Marston supports the procurement mission of the Mid Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center under the Department of the Navy, facilitating critical acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval surface platforms. She manages contracts for shipbuilding components, structural metal systems, and mechanical subsystems essential to fleet readiness, ensuring compliance with naval industrial standards and maintenance timelines. Her work directly enables the center’s mission to deliver precision repair, overhaul, and infrastructure support to the U.S. Navy’s surface fleet, with a focus on long-term platform integrity and operational availability. Marston maintains established relationships with key industrial partners including Fairlead Boatworks, Inc., General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc., Howard W. Pence, Inc., and Kampi Components Co., Inc., reflecting a preference for experienced vendors with proven capabilities in naval maintenance and specialized engineering services. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on repeat contractors with deep domain expertise in shipyard operations, digital systems integration, and precision mechanical fabrication, suggesting a focus on reliability and technical continuity over open competition. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 71.4% of awards issued without set-asides, yet she consistently allocates 28.6% of contracts to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical requirements. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her small business awards reflect a strategic emphasis on capable, non-traditional suppliers with relevant industrial experience. Marston’s primary NAICS focus includes Ship Building and Repairing (336611), followed by Engine Equipment Manufacturing (333618) and specialized information services (511210). Her acquisitions center on structural steel fabrication, propulsion subsystems, naval-grade mechanical components, and technical support services critical to shipyard modernization. Her expertise lies in procuring high-integrity, defense-specific hardware and industrial services that meet stringent Navy specifications and lifecycle maintenance demands.
