Jackson Murphy

Jackson Murphy supports the procurement mission of Navsup Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound by managing critical acquisitions that sustain the readiness and operational longevity of U.S. Navy surface and submarine fleets. He oversees the acquisition of marine engineering systems, precision-fabricated hardware, and industrial maintenance services essential to shipbuilding, repair, and vessel sustainment. His portfolio centers on complex technical procurements requiring stringent naval specifications, including industrial valves, propulsion components, heat exchange systems, and specialized communications equipment. Working closely with technical evaluators and logistics planners, Murphy ensures contract awards align with fleet-wide readiness objectives and compliance with Department of Defense acquisition regulations. Murphy maintains longstanding relationships with key industrial partners including Timken Gears & Services Inc., Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corp, Bellingham Marine Industries, Palfinger Marine USA, and Jered LLC. These vendors are recognized for their expertise in naval-grade mechanical systems, electro-mechanical controls, and marine fabrication. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical validation, and supply chain resilience, often engaging contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated contracts under FAR Part 15. These partnerships reflect a preference for proven suppliers with demonstrated capability in high-reliability, mission-critical environments. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, Murphy consistently allocates approximately 20% of his portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding small business participation in naval sustainment contracts. He prioritizes small businesses with proven experience in industrial manufacturing and marine systems, fostering competition and innovation without compromising technical integrity or delivery timelines. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 332911 (industrial valve manufacturing), 336611 (shipbuilding and repair), and 334290 (communications equipment), with additional emphasis on power boiler systems and commercial refrigeration equipment. This technical alignment underscores his expertise in procuring high-integrity components for naval propulsion, environmental control, and vessel infrastructure systems.
