George Dekle

George Dekle 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 naval vessels. He manages complex acquisitions for mission-critical marine systems, including industrial machinery, propulsion components, and specialized logistics support equipment. His role centers on ensuring timely delivery of technical solutions that maintain fleet availability and maritime operational continuity, with a focus on high-reliability, defense-grade hardware and integrated maintenance services. Dekle’s procurement portfolio spans contract types from firm-fixed-price to cost-reimbursement, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and lifecycle support. He maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including Vigor Marine LLC for ship repair and maintenance services, ExxonMobil Marine Limited for marine fuel and logistics support, and Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. for technical analysis and operational planning. Additional key partners include Ontic Engineering & Manufacturing, Inc. for precision marine components and the Foreign Policy Research Institute for strategic maritime policy advisory services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, vetted vendors with proven track records in naval environments, often leveraging long-term agreements to ensure supply chain resilience and technical consistency. Dekle’s procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic prioritization of technical capability and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the urgent operational demands of naval sustainment. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, all acquisitions adhere strictly to FAR compliance and competitive acquisition best practices. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 335312 (Motor and Generator Manufacturing), 333248 (Industrial Machinery), and 333914 (Pumping Equipment Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in marine power systems, fluid control components, and industrial ventilation. He routinely procures mission-critical equipment such as marine-grade pumps, industrial fans, and precision valves engineered for saltwater exposure and continuous operational duty cycles, demonstrating specialized knowledge in naval mechanical systems and defense-grade manufacturing standards.
