Glenn A. Poole

Glenn A. Poole serves as a key procurement professional within Mschq Norfolk, a critical logistics and sustainment unit of the Department of the Navy. He is responsible for managing acquisitions that directly support the operational readiness of U.S. Navy surface and auxiliary vessels, with a primary focus on deep-sea freight transportation and mission-critical marine logistics. His contracting activities ensure the timely movement of equipment, spare parts, and supplies essential to fleet sustainment, aligning closely with the agency’s mandate to maintain uninterrupted naval operational capability. Poole handles complex, high-stakes contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, often involving international maritime transport, specialized vessel support, and technical marine services. He maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of experienced contractors, including ExxonMobil Marine Limited, Vigor Marine LLC, Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., and Ontic Engineering & Manufacturing, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in naval logistics, ship repair infrastructure, and defense-grade marine engineering. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and mission-critical performance, fostering long-term vendor collaboration rather than transactional engagements. Poole’s contracting portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on sourcing the most capable and qualified providers regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing mission outcomes over socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, all procurements adhere strictly to federal transparency and competition requirements. His primary NAICS focus is 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation), indicating a specialized domain expertise in oceanic cargo movement, maritime logistics coordination, and intermodal freight systems supporting naval deployments. He procures services related to heavy-lift shipping, roll-on/roll-off vessel operations, and maritime supply chain integration, ensuring the Navy’s global sustainment network remains resilient and responsive.
