Gregory Hodges serves as a key procurement lead within the Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval surface platforms. He manages complex acquisitions for critical shipbuilding components, structural metal systems, and mechanical subsystems essential to fleet readiness. His portfolio spans industrial maintenance, fabricated metal products, and specialized equipment for shore-based infrastructure, ensuring compliance with naval engineering standards and lifecycle support requirements. Hodges plays a central role in executing contract actions that align with the Navy’s industrial base strategy, emphasizing precision manufacturing and long-term platform integrity. He maintains enduring relationships with core contractors including Fairlead Boatworks, Inc., General Dynamics Information Technology, Howard W. Pence, Inc., and Kampi Components Co., Inc., reflecting a preference for established industrial partners with proven expertise in naval maintenance and fabrication. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements, technical collaboration, and performance-based delivery of mission-critical components. Hodges prioritizes vendors with specialized capabilities in shipyard environments and understands the unique demands of Navy-mandated quality control and certification standards. Hodges demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 83.3% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns consistently prioritize small disadvantaged businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and other socioeconomic categories, fostering a resilient and diverse industrial supply chain. This focus ensures broad access to opportunity while maintaining the technical rigor required for defense applications. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), complemented by significant activity in motor and generator manufacturing (335312), institutional furniture (337127), and miscellaneous fabricated metal products (332999). This technical breadth supports the full spectrum of vessel maintenance—from propulsion systems to interior fit-out—demonstrating deep domain expertise in naval industrial support and integrated logistics.
