Kayla V Modic

Kayla V. Modic supports the procurement mission of Norfolk Naval Shipyard Gf by managing complex acquisitions critical to the maintenance, modernization, and operational readiness of U.S. Navy vessels. She oversees contract execution for industrial and engineering services essential to shipyard operations, including vessel repair, machinery overhaul, and mission-critical component supply. Her portfolio spans technical domains requiring specialized naval infrastructure expertise, ensuring compliance with Department of the Navy standards and regulatory frameworks. Modic’s work directly enables fleet sustainment through timely, high-integrity contracting that aligns with the shipyard’s strategic priorities of extending vessel service life and enhancing industrial efficiency. She maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, OWL INTERNATIONAL INC., AMEE BAY, LLC, MID ATLANTIC ENGINEERING TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC., and MILLS MARINE & SHIP REPAIR LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven capabilities in marine industrial services, naval machinery repair, and specialized fabrication. Modic fosters collaborative, performance-driven vendor relationships grounded in technical competency and regulatory adherence, ensuring reliable delivery of mission-critical support services under stringent maritime standards. Modic demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over half of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business eligibility, reflecting the agency’s broader socioeconomic goals. While no set-aside preferences for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are dominant, her reliance on small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to expand vendor diversity and enhance competition within the naval industrial base. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), followed by 532490 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Leasing) and 326220 (Rubber and Plastics Hoses and Belting). She regularly procures specialized marine components, industrial equipment rentals, and technical services supporting propulsion systems, hull integrity, and auxiliary systems. Her technical expertise centers on naval engineering support, with deep familiarity in the lifecycle management of maritime platforms and the regulatory compliance frameworks governing naval industrial operations.
