Fiona Lynch

Fiona Lynch serves as the primary contracting lead for the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard IMF, overseeing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain and modernize the U.S. Navy’s fleet. Responsible for managing complex industrial and technical contracts, she ensures naval vessels remain operationally ready through precision repair, mechanical overhauls, and infrastructure upgrades. Her portfolio centers on procurement activities aligned with shipyard maintenance operations, including machinery servicing, equipment leasing, and specialized training services. Lynch plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s strategic imperative to maintain naval readiness through efficient, compliant, and technically rigorous contracting practices. She maintains established working relationships with key industrial partners including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, PACIFIC INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT CORP, XLEAGLE LLC, FAIRBANKS MORSE, LLC, and PHILIP RIEKE. These contractors provide essential capabilities in heavy machinery repair, propulsion system maintenance, and industrial equipment support. Lynch fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical reliability and performance accountability, often leveraging repeat engagements with firms that demonstrate deep expertise in naval-grade repair standards and compliance with military specifications. Lynch consistently prioritizes small business participation, with approximately half of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. An additional 10% are competed under the 8(a) program, reflecting a deliberate strategy to cultivate capacity among disadvantaged small businesses in the industrial maintenance sector. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, balancing competitive fairness with meaningful opportunities for certified small and emerging vendors. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair), 532490 (equipment leasing), and 611420 (computer training), underscoring expertise in mechanical systems maintenance, industrial asset utilization, and workforce upskilling. She procures specialized services such as turbine overhauls, hydraulic system refurbishment, and technical instruction for shipyard technicians, ensuring the workforce and infrastructure remain aligned with evolving naval engineering standards.
