Joyce Derry supports the procurement mission of Navsup Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville by managing critical acquisition activities that sustain U.S. Navy operational readiness. Though her formal title is not listed, her role centers on executing contract actions for logistics, maintenance, and mission-enabling services essential to naval fleet support. She routinely handles complex procurements under FAR Part 12 and Part 13 authorities, focusing on commercial-off-the-shelf solutions and service-based contracts that ensure the functionality of shipboard systems and crew welfare infrastructure. Her work directly enables the agency’s mandate to maintain naval platforms through reliable, timely, and cost-effective acquisition strategies. Derry maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Stronghold SOF Solutions LLC, Gemini Tech Services LLC, Emerald Isle Federal Services, LLC, First Division Consulting Inc., and Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corp.

Her contracting patterns suggest a reliance on vendors with proven track records in naval environments, fostering long-term, performance-based engagements that prioritize reliability and compliance with military specifications. A defining feature of Derry’s procurement approach is her exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a steadfast commitment to small business participation. All awarded contracts are reserved for small businesses, aligning with the Department of the Navy’s socioeconomic goals and enhancing diversity in the defense supply base. This pattern underscores her dedication to empowering small, capable vendors without compromising mission-critical outcomes. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 484210 (Used Household and Office Goods Moving), indicating significant activity in relocation and logistics support services for naval personnel and installations, and NAICS 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing), pointing to specialized acquisitions in communication systems and electronic components critical to fleet operations. Her technical domain expertise spans both logistical infrastructure and secure communications hardware, ensuring seamless support for deployed naval forces.
