Jesintha Dsouza

Jesintha Dsouza serves as a key procurement professional within NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Bahrain, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain forward-deployed U.S. Navy and Coast Guard vessels in the Middle East. Responsible for managing critical acquisition activities, she oversees contracts for ship repair, maintenance, and mission-critical logistical services essential to maintaining operational readiness. Her work directly enables fleet availability by ensuring timely delivery of technical services and infrastructure support for combat-ready surface ships, with a focus on complex, high-priority acquisitions requiring stringent quality and schedule compliance in a dynamic theater environment. While specific contractor names are not available, Dsouza engages with a diverse pool of qualified vendors capable of delivering specialized maritime maintenance, shipyard services, and environmental control systems. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven technical capabilities in naval vessel support, including firms experienced in dry-dock operations, hull integrity repairs, and marine HVAC integration. Relationships are typically performance-based, emphasizing contract compliance, technical certification, and rapid response capabilities in austere conditions. Dsouza’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects the operational urgency and specialized nature of the requirements, where only a limited number of vendors possess the necessary certifications, security clearances, and on-site capacity to support forward-deployed naval assets. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through socioeconomic set-asides, the agency maintains rigorous small business outreach consistent with broader DoN goals. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), which accounts for over 90% of her portfolio, encompassing dry-dock services, structural repairs, and propulsion system maintenance. The remaining 9% involves NAICS 333415, targeting commercial-grade marine HVAC and refrigeration systems critical to crew welfare and equipment integrity. Her expertise centers on technical specifications for naval-grade durability, corrosion resistance, and compliance with Navy MIL-SPEC standards.
