Jason Lee

Jason Lee serves as a key procurement lead at the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (N55236), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval vessel readiness through industrial and shipyard infrastructure contracts. He manages a portfolio of acquisitions focused on shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance services, ensuring fleet assets remain operationally viable through timely procurement of specialized engineering solutions. His work directly enables critical maintenance cycles by securing industrial capabilities essential to naval surface fleet sustainment, with a strong emphasis on shipyard modernization, structural repair, and mission-critical equipment integration. Lee maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading industrial contractors including W. V. Construction Company, Turn Key Scaffolding LLC, Premier Scaffolding, Inc., Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and The Sherwin-Williams Company. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in marine construction, industrial scaffolding systems, propulsion and auxiliary equipment, and protective coating applications. His contracting approach prioritizes reliability, technical compliance, and performance history, often awarding task orders to firms with deep experience in naval shipyard environments and Department of Defense facility standards. His procurement patterns show a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects a mission-driven focus on securing specialized industrial capabilities where only a limited pool of qualified contractors possess the required certifications, facilities, or naval-specific expertise. Lee’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), accounting for 75% of his portfolio, with additional emphasis on NAICS 334511 for nautical systems and instrumentation. He procures shipyard structural repairs, corrosion protection systems, marine-grade coatings, and specialized propulsion components, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with naval engineering standards and industrial maintenance protocols.
