Heather Elkhay

Heather Elkhay serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville, supporting the U.S. Navy’s operational readiness through the acquisition of mission-critical logistics and maintenance services. Though her formal title is not listed, her role centers on managing contract execution for specialized supply chain solutions, fleet support systems, and infrastructure sustainment initiatives. She handles a diverse portfolio of service-based acquisitions aligned with naval operational requirements, ensuring timely delivery of capabilities that maintain shipboard functionality and crew welfare. Her work directly enables the agency’s mission to sustain naval platforms through reliable, compliant, and efficient contracting practices. Elkhay maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Stronghold SOF Solutions LLC, Gemini Tech Services LLC, Emerald Isle Federal Services, LLC, First Division Consulting Inc., and Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corp. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced vendors capable of delivering technical, logistics, and maintenance services under complex naval specifications. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established contractors with proven track records in naval support environments, suggesting a focus on risk mitigation and mission continuity through trusted vendor relationships. Her procurement strategy reflects an even split between open competition and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both broad market access and robust small business participation. While no other socioeconomic set-asides are predominant, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals active support for small business growth within the defense logistics sector. Notably, all of her acquisitions are classified under NAICS 311411—Frozen Fruit, Juice, and Vegetable Manufacturing—indicating a highly specialized focus on food service and galley supply contracts for naval vessels and shore facilities. This unique specialization underscores her expertise in procuring mission-enabling consumables that directly impact crew health, morale, and operational endurance across the fleet.
