Jamie Devera

Jamie Devera serves as a key procurement lead at the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval vessel readiness through industrial and maintenance services. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions across specialized engineering and infrastructure domains, Devera oversees contracts for critical shipyard equipment, environmental control systems, and industrial facility upgrades. Their work directly enables fleet operational availability by ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical components and services that support naval engineering operations and maintenance workflows. Devera maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of industrial contractors, including W.V. Construction Company, Turn Key Scaffolding LLC, and Premier Scaffolding, Inc., for structural and maintenance support services. Additional key vendors such as Fairbanks Morse, LLC and The Sherwin-Williams Company provide specialized propulsion components and protective coatings essential to naval vessel integrity. These relationships reflect a pattern of long-term, performance-based contracting with vendors possessing proven expertise in marine-grade systems and industrial compliance standards, emphasizing reliability, regulatory adherence, and technical precision. Set-aside preferences show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 75% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. However, Devera maintains a consistent 25% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation without prioritizing specific programs like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This approach balances competitive efficiency with broad-based small business engagement across eligible categories. The procurement portfolio is heavily focused on NAICS 332321 for metal window and door manufacturing, alongside 333415 for commercial HVAC and refrigeration systems, 518210 for data infrastructure, and 332991 and 333921 for bearings and elevator systems. These categories reflect deep technical expertise in marine-industrial environments, where precision-engineered components and climate-controlled infrastructure are vital to sustaining naval asset readiness in demanding operational conditions.
