Kathryn Carrillo

Kathryn Carrillo serves as a key procurement lead at the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (N55236), part of the Department of the Navy, where she manages contracts essential to sustaining naval vessel readiness. Her responsibilities center on acquiring specialized shipbuilding and repair services, industrial equipment, and critical infrastructure support to ensure fleet operational availability. She oversees the full lifecycle of acquisitions under NAICS 336611, coordinating with engineering and logistics teams to align contracting actions with maintenance schedules and modernization goals. Her work directly supports the Navy’s industrial base strategy by securing capabilities that maintain and upgrade naval assets across the Southwest region. Carrillo maintains consistent relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in naval maintenance and industrial services, including W.V. Construction Company, Turn Key Scaffold LLC, Premier Scaffold, Inc., Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and The Sherwin-Williams Company. These partnerships reflect a focus on firms with proven expertise in shipyard infrastructure, corrosion protection, marine coating systems, and heavy machinery repair. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, technical compliance, and performance history, favoring established contractors with demonstrated capability in complex maritime environments. Carrillo’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a strategic focus on full and open competition. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach ensures that all awards are awarded based on technical merit, past performance, and industrial capacity—aligning with the Navy’s need for mission-critical, high-reliability services. Her primary industry focus is NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—where she procures a wide range of services including dry-dock maintenance, structural repairs, marine coating applications, propulsion system overhauls, and industrial scaffolding solutions. Her technical expertise lies in the intersection of naval engineering and industrial support, ensuring that all acquisitions meet stringent Navy safety, quality, and regulatory standards for vessel sustainment.
