Elizabeth Phelps

Elizabeth Phelps serves as a secondary procurement support professional at the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk (NAVSUP FLC Norfolk), contributing to the agency’s mission of sustaining naval operational readiness through strategic acquisition of engineering, logistics, and maintenance services. While not a primary contracting officer, she plays a vital role in facilitating contract execution, supporting market research, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations across a diverse portfolio of technical and operational contracts. Her work directly enables the procurement of mission-critical services that maintain naval platforms, enhance communications infrastructure, and develop workforce capabilities essential to fleet sustainment. Phelps collaborates regularly with a select group of high-trust contractors, including Obsidian Global, LLC, Deloitte & Touche LLP, and Computational Physics Inc., reflecting a preference for established firms with proven expertise in defense-sector engineering, systems analysis, and technical services. Her procurement patterns indicate close coordination with vendors capable of delivering specialized maintenance, advanced modeling, and training solutions tailored to naval requirements. These relationships are characterized by repeat engagement and a focus on technical reliability over transactional procurement. Her contracting activity demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with nearly one-third of acquisitions structured as set-asides—equally divided between Total Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) categories, and a notable 8.6% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small and veteran-owned businesses while maintaining mission-critical capability. Phelps’ procurement focus centers on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair), and 611430 (Professional Training), reflecting deep alignment with naval platform sustainment, technical workforce development, and maintenance of non-automotive equipment. Her domain expertise lies in acquiring complex technical services that support the Navy’s enduring need for reliable, specialized logistics and maintenance infrastructure.
