Heather Coleman

Heather Coleman supports the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk in executing mission-critical procurement actions that sustain U.S. Navy operational readiness. While her formal title is not listed, her procurement activities center on acquiring professional services essential to fleet maintenance, technical training, and security infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts aligned with the agency’s strategic priorities, focusing on engineering support, workforce development, and mission-critical systems sustainment. Her acquisitions directly enable naval platform reliability through technical consulting, specialized repair services, and secure operational environments. Coleman maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including Obsidian Global, LLC, Deloitte & Touche LLP, Advania Island Ehf., Complete Parachute Solutions, Inc., and Computational Physics Inc. These partnerships reflect a blend of large, nationally recognized firms and specialized niche providers with deep technical expertise in defense logistics and systems engineering. Her contracting patterns suggest a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in complex, high-stakes environments, often requiring stringent compliance with Navy technical and security standards. Her procurement portfolio reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic participation, with nearly half of her awards issued under open, competed solicitations, while actively supporting Women-Owned Small Businesses and 8(a) certified firms at significant levels. This pattern indicates a deliberate effort to foster competition and innovation while ensuring compliance with federal small business goals, particularly in service-based categories where specialized capabilities are scarce. Coleman’s primary NAICS focus areas include Professional and Management Development Training (611430), Security Systems Services (561621), and Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services (541690), underscoring her specialization in workforce readiness, cybersecurity infrastructure, and technical advisory services. She also procures commercial and industrial machinery repair (811310), demonstrating a broad operational scope that bridges human capital development with physical asset sustainment across the naval fleet’s logistics ecosystem.
