These partnerships reflect a focus on prime contractors with deep expertise in naval architecture, systems integration, and shipyard modernization. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term, performance-based engagements with established industry leaders capable of delivering high-complexity, mission-essential vessels and upgrades under stringent Navy technical and compliance standards. Workosky’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, with no reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. Her contracting approach prioritizes technical capability, industrial capacity, and proven performance over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with NAVSEA’s mission-critical need for rapid, reliable delivery of combat-credible platforms from qualified industrial base partners. Her primary focus is on NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—encompassing new construction, mid-life modernizations, and dry-dock repairs for destroyers, submarines, amphibious ships, and support vessels. She specializes in procuring integrated combat systems, hull and machinery upgrades, and propulsion modernizations, demonstrating deep technical fluency in naval engineering standards and defense acquisition regulations.
