Evangeline Calaustro

Evangeline Calaustro serves as a secondary procurement support specialist within the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard IMF, contributing to the Department of the Navy’s mission of sustaining and modernizing the fleet through precision industrial operations. While not a lead contracting officer, she plays a critical role in facilitating acquisition planning, vendor coordination, and contract administration for maintenance and repair services essential to naval vessel readiness. Her work supports complex, mission-critical procurements involving mechanical overhauls, industrial equipment servicing, and shipyard infrastructure support, ensuring alignment with Navy technical standards and regulatory compliance. Calaustro maintains consistent working relationships with key industrial contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Pacific Industrial Equipment Corp, XLEagle LLC, Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and Philip Rieke. These partnerships reflect a reliance on established vendors with deep expertise in heavy machinery repair, propulsion system maintenance, and specialized shipyard components. Her procurement patterns indicate a preference for long-term, performance-based contracts with vendors capable of delivering technical precision and rapid turnaround in a high-tempo shipyard environment. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on small business participation, with 45.1% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate, her consistent use of small business contracting demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for qualified vendors in the defense industrial base. Calaustro’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance), followed by shipbuilding and repair (336611) and electronic equipment maintenance (811210). She routinely sources services related to mechanical system refurbishment, precision tool calibration, and industrial site preparation, underscoring her technical familiarity with naval repair cycles and the specialized equipment required to sustain fleet operational availability.
