Glenn A. Poole

Glenn A. Poole 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 centered on deep-sea freight transportation, ship repair, and mission-critical marine logistics, ensuring timely delivery of essential services that enable continuous naval deployments. His role involves end-to-end contract execution—from requirements validation and market research to award and performance monitoring—aligned with Navy logistics and maritime sustainment priorities. Poole’s acquisitions are strategically designed to maintain fleet availability through reliable, high-integrity contracting practices. Poole maintains longstanding relationships with core contractors including EXXONMOBIL MARINE LIMITED for marine fuel and logistics support, VIGOR MARINE LLC for shipyard maintenance and repair services, and BOOZ ALLEN HAMILTON INC for operational analysis and systems integration. He also engages ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC for specialized marine component manufacturing and FOREIGN POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE INC for strategic maritime policy advisory services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term vendor partnerships, and technical alignment with naval operational needs, fostering accountability and mission-critical reliability. His procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 81.8% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on broad market access and mission-driven efficiency. However, he consistently allocates 18.2% of contracts to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating active support for small business participation across technical and logistics domains. While no specific socioeconomic categories dominate, his pattern shows deliberate inclusion of qualified small firms capable of delivering complex maritime services. Poole’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation), followed by 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and 332410 (Power Boiler and Heat Exchanger Manufacturing). He also procures supporting services in 721110 (Hotels and Motels) for transient personnel and 713990 (Recreation Services) for fleet welfare programs. His expertise spans marine logistics, naval engineering support, and integrated supply chain operations, ensuring that all acquisitions directly enhance the operational endurance of the U.S. Navy’s fleet.
