Jodi E. Van Slyke

Jodi E. Van Slyke serves as a Contract Specialist at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard IMF (N4523A), under the Department of the Navy, where she plays a critical role in executing procurement actions that sustain the readiness of the U.S. Navy’s fleet. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for ship repair, maintenance, and industrial support services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and naval operational requirements. Her work directly supports the shipyard’s mission of lifecycle management for naval vessels, overseeing contracts for complex engineering, precision maintenance, and mission-critical system overhauls. Van Slyke specializes in sole-source and competitive acquisitions within the naval industrial base, balancing technical rigor with regulatory compliance to deliver mission-ready assets. She maintains consistent working relationships with key industrial partners including LAKE UNION DRYDOCK CO, SUNBELT RENTALS, INC, FLUKE ELECTRONICS CORP, PAULEY RODINE INC, and MOTIVE POWER MARINE, LLC. These vendors provide specialized services ranging from drydock operations and marine power systems to calibrated instrumentation and industrial rental solutions. Van Slyke fosters long-term, performance-driven partnerships with contractors who demonstrate technical proficiency in naval environments and adherence to stringent quality and safety standards, ensuring reliable delivery of mission-critical support. Van Slyke exhibits a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and the other half awarded as full and open competitions. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to promote small business participation while maintaining access to specialized capabilities only available through larger, established vendors. Her contracting practices align with Navy goals to broaden the industrial base and enhance competition without compromising mission requirements. Her procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 336611 — Ship Building and Repairing — encompassing all facets of naval vessel maintenance, structural repairs, propulsion system overhauls, and industrial support services. She possesses deep expertise in procuring technical services tied to shipyard infrastructure, marine electrical systems, and precision mechanical components, ensuring all acquisitions align with the technical demands of modern naval fleet sustainment.
