Hannah Leigh Stipanovich serves as a Contract Specialist at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard IMF (N4523A), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain naval fleet readiness through industrial maintenance and shipyard modernization. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—for critical repair, maintenance, and technical support services essential to naval vessel sustainment. Her acquisitions focus on industrial infrastructure, specialized equipment, and engineering services that enable complex shipyard operations, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and naval operational requirements. She maintains established working relationships with key vendors including LAKE UNION DRYDOCK CO, SUNBELT RENTALS, INC, FLUKE ELECTRONICS CORP, PAULEY RODINE INC, and MOTIVE POWER MARINE, LLC, which provide essential machinery, calibration services, industrial rentals, and marine propulsion support. These partnerships reflect a preference for proven industrial contractors with demonstrated expertise in naval-grade maintenance and precision equipment handling, fostering reliable, long-term vendor collaboration grounded in technical proficiency and regulatory compliance. Stipanovich’s contracting patterns show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 78.6% of awards issued without set-asides, while maintaining a consistent 21.4% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach—prioritizing efficiency and mission-critical capability while actively facilitating opportunities for qualified small businesses without compromising operational needs. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 532490 (commercial machinery leasing), 811310 (industrial machinery repair), and 541340 (drafting services), indicating deep specialization in procurement for shipyard infrastructure, precision maintenance, and technical documentation. She routinely acquires industrial equipment, calibration tools, and engineering support services critical to maintaining the Navy’s complex vessel systems, demonstrating technical fluency in naval industrial operations and lifecycle sustainment contracting.
