Harris E. Carr

Harris E. Carr serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk (NAVSUP FLC Norfolk), where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions to sustain U.S. Navy fleet readiness. Specializing in complex engineering and logistics support contracts, Carr manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal regulations and Navy-specific operational standards. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain naval platforms through specialized repair, maintenance, and technical services, with a focus on high-integrity, mission-essential systems. Carr maintains established working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including Obsidian Global, LLC; Deloitte & Touche LLP; Advania Island Ehf.; Complete Parachute Solutions, Inc.; and Computational Physics Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, technically capable vendors capable of delivering specialized engineering, logistics optimization, and advanced manufacturing solutions. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluation, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional procurement. Carr’s portfolio reflects a consistent 100% non-set-aside contracting pattern, indicating a focus on open competition for mission-critical requirements where specialized expertise outweighs socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not a primary driver in his current acquisitions, his processes remain fully compliant with federal socioeconomic guidelines, and awards are made based on technical merit and capacity to meet stringent Navy standards. His procurement activity is exclusively aligned with NAICS 332618 (Other Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing), underscoring deep technical expertise in the sourcing of custom-engineered wire components, cable assemblies, and precision-fabricated metal products critical to naval communications, avionics, and platform systems. This specialization demands a nuanced understanding of materials science, military specifications, and quality assurance protocols inherent to defense-grade wire product manufacturing.
