Grant Sivertson

Grant Sivertson serves as a key procurement professional within Mschq Norfolk, operating under the Department of the Navy, where he manages critical acquisitions to sustain the operational readiness of U.S. Navy surface and auxiliary vessels. His responsibilities encompass the end-to-end procurement of specialized marine equipment, ship repair services, and deep-sea freight transport solutions essential to fleet sustainment. Sivertson handles complex contract actions requiring technical oversight of mechanical, fluid power, and chemical systems, ensuring compliance with naval standards and mission-critical timelines. He plays a central role in executing strategic sourcing initiatives that align with the Navy’s broader logistics and maintenance objectives, frequently interfacing with industrial partners to deliver high-reliability components for naval operations. Sivertson maintains longstanding relationships with a select group of prime contractors including ExxonMobil Marine Limited, Vigor Marine LLC, Booz Allen Hamilton Inc, Foreign Policy Research Institute Inc, and Ontic Engineering & Manufacturing, Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on integrated maritime logistics, defense engineering, and specialized manufacturing capabilities. His contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, with a preference for established vendors possessing proven track records in naval environments and technical expertise in marine systems. He consistently engages these contractors through competitive and sole-source mechanisms, depending on the uniqueness of the requirement and urgency of operational needs. Sivertson’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability, availability, and readiness over socioeconomic classifications, indicating a focus on mission-critical outcomes rather than socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, all acquisitions remain compliant with federal acquisition regulations and competitive procurement principles. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories 332919, 333613, 333995, 333618, and 325998, corresponding to metal valve and pipe fittings, mechanical power transmission equipment, fluid power actuators, other engine equipment, and miscellaneous chemical products. These categories underscore his technical expertise in marine propulsion systems, hydraulic and pneumatic components, and specialized naval-grade chemical formulations used in vessel maintenance and corrosion control.
