Frank Crozier

Frank Crozier serves as a key procurement lead within Mschq Norfolk, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain operational readiness of surface and auxiliary fleet assets. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on deep-sea freight transportation, marine logistics, ship repair, and mission-critical marine equipment procurement. His role ensures timely delivery of essential services and components that maintain fleet deployability, with an emphasis on contracts governed by FAR Part 48 and maritime-specific regulations. Crozier’s work directly enables the Navy’s global operational tempo by securing reliable, high-integrity maritime support systems. He maintains established working relationships with industry leaders such as ExxonMobil Marine Limited, Vigor Marine LLC, and Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., partnering with firms capable of delivering complex marine logistics, vessel maintenance, and defense-related engineering solutions. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for experienced, qualified vendors with proven maritime domain expertise, often awarding contracts to firms with specialized certifications in naval shipyard operations and defense logistics. Foreign Policy Research Institute Inc. and Ontic Engineering & Manufacturing, Inc. further indicate engagement with niche technical and analytical support providers critical to operational planning and component supply chain integrity. Crozier’s procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 88% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting the specialized nature and scale of required services. Nevertheless, he consistently allocates 12% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but active commitment to small business participation in support of naval sustainment. While no specific socioeconomic set-asides (e.g., 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB) dominate, the small business portion reflects a deliberate effort to foster competition among qualified niche vendors. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation) and 488330 (Navigational Services to Shipping), with significant activity in industrial valve manufacturing (332911) and ship repair (336611). This reflects deep technical expertise in maritime supply chains, marine propulsion systems, and mission-critical component procurement essential to naval vessel sustainment and fleet readiness.
