Jeanie Marriam

Jeanie Marriam supports the Southeast Regional Maintenance Center’s mission to sustain the U.S. Navy’s surface fleet through the procurement of critical ship repair and maintenance services. Though her official title is not listed, her procurement activities are central to executing dry-docking, structural overhauls, and hull and machinery modernization under NAICS 336611. She manages acquisitions that ensure combat readiness by securing specialized trade contractors and port operations support essential to vessel lifecycle management. Her work directly enables the agency’s strategic goal of extending service life and enhancing operational capability through timely, technically rigorous contract execution. Marriam collaborates with a broad base of specialty trade contractors and port operations firms, many of which possess deep expertise in naval vessel maintenance, dry-dock logistics, and marine infrastructure support. While no specific contractor names are identified, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with vendors capable of delivering complex, safety-critical services under stringent Navy standards. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based contracting, technical compliance, and adherence to maritime regulatory frameworks, fostering partnerships with firms experienced in military shipyard environments. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic classifications. This approach prioritizes mission-critical outcomes and vendor reliability over mandated small business set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, though small businesses may still compete successfully on merit. Marriam’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors) and NAICS 488310 (Port and Harbor Operations), reflecting her reliance on skilled trades such as pipefitting, electrical systems repair, crane operations, and dockside logistics. She procures services involving structural steel fabrication, corrosion control, propulsion system maintenance, and marine terminal support—all essential to sustaining naval surface assets through comprehensive, facility-based repair cycles.
