Jennifer Gomez

Jennifer Gomez 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 shipyard infrastructure contracting. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on ship repair, industrial maintenance systems, and specialized engineering equipment, ensuring fleet assets remain operationally viable. Her work directly enables critical maintenance cycles by securing reliable vendors for structural, mechanical, and corrosion-control solutions essential to naval shipyards. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and performance monitoring—prioritizing technical compliance and mission-critical delivery timelines. Gomez maintains strong, recurring partnerships with leading industrial contractors including W. V. Construction Company, Turn Key Scaffolding LLC, and Premier Scaffolding, Inc., for temporary access and shipyard support systems. She also routinely engages Fairbanks Morse, LLC, for marine engine components and The Sherwin-Williams Company for protective coatings and marine-grade paint systems. These relationships reflect a pattern of long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance reliability, regulatory adherence, and rapid response capabilities required in high-tempo ship maintenance environments. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate emphasis on empowering small, locally based industrial contractors capable of delivering specialized shipyard services, scaffolding, and maintenance supplies. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize socioeconomic programs that expand the industrial base supporting naval readiness. Gomez’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), with significant activity in metal fabrication (332321), mechanical power transmission (333613), and engine equipment manufacturing (333618). She specializes in procuring custom-engineered components, marine-grade fasteners, and industrial coatings critical to corrosion mitigation and structural integrity in naval vessels, demonstrating deep domain expertise in naval industrial support systems.
