Justin Silverman

Justin Silverman serves as a key procurement lead within Mschq Norfolk, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain operational readiness of U.S. Navy surface and auxiliary vessels. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on mission-critical marine infrastructure, including specialized ship repair components, deep-sea freight logistics systems, and engineered marine equipment. His role ensures timely procurement of technical assets essential to fleet sustainment, with a strong emphasis on compliance with Department of Defense contracting standards and maritime operational requirements. Silverman routinely handles complex, multi-year contracts requiring technical validation and supply chain resilience, often coordinating with engineering and logistics teams to align procurement with vessel deployment cycles. He maintains strategic relationships with established defense and industrial contractors including ExxonMobil Marine Limited, Vigor Marine LLC, Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., Ontic Engineering & Manufacturing, Inc., and the Foreign Policy Research Institute. These partnerships reflect a blend of heavy industrial manufacturing, systems integration, and strategic analysis capabilities critical to naval operations. Silverman’s contracting patterns favor long-term vendor alignment with proven technical proficiency in maritime environments, prioritizing reliability and regulatory compliance over transient supplier relationships. His procurement portfolio reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately one-third of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to full and open competition, he consistently engages qualified small businesses capable of delivering specialized marine components and technical services aligned with Navy sustainment needs. Silverman’s primary NAICS focus spans Metal Window and Door Manufacturing, Measuring and Pumping Equipment Manufacturing, and Battery Manufacturing—each representing critical subsystems for naval vessel integrity, environmental control, and power distribution. His expertise lies in procuring precision-engineered, marine-grade components that meet MIL-SPEC and naval engineering standards, ensuring compatibility with high-stress maritime operational environments.
