Erin Behrns

Erin Behrns serves as a key procurement professional within the Mid Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center, a Department of the Navy facility responsible for sustaining and modernizing naval surface platforms. She manages the acquisition of critical industrial components and mechanical systems essential to ship integrity and operational readiness, focusing on high-precision fabricated metal products, industrial valves, crane systems, and specialized engine equipment. Her work directly supports the center’s mission to ensure fleet availability through timely procurement of mission-critical spare parts, structural systems, and repair-ready components, often requiring compliance with stringent naval specifications and military standards. Behrns maintains established relationships with core contractors including Fairlead Boatworks, Inc., General Dynamics Information Technology, Howard W. Pence, Inc., and Kampi Components Co., Inc., all of which provide specialized fabrication, repair, and engineering services tailored to naval infrastructure needs. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and long-term vendor performance, fostering partnerships with firms possessing deep expertise in marine-grade metal fabrication and defense-qualified manufacturing processes. Her procurement activity is exclusively conducted under full and open competition, with no set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and mission-critical delivery over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the center’s operational urgency and specialized requirements. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Industrial Valve Manufacturing (332911), Ship Building and Repairing (336611), Overhead Crane Manufacturing (333923), Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing (333618), and Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (332999). These reflect her technical expertise in procuring complex mechanical subsystems, structural components, and industrial automation equipment critical to naval vessel maintenance and shore-based repair operations.
