Kaylee DiCamillo

Kaylee DiCamillo serves as a key procurement professional within the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (N55236), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval vessel readiness through industrial and engineering support. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on ship repair infrastructure, mechanical systems, and industrial coatings, ensuring fleet assets remain operationally viable. Her work directly enables critical maintenance cycles by securing specialized equipment, fabrication services, and mission-critical components essential to naval engineering operations, aligning procurement activities with the Center’s strategic priorities in fleet sustainment and modernization. DiCamillo maintains consistent working relationships with established industrial contractors including W. V. Construction Company, Turn Key Scaffolding LLC, Premier Scaffolding, Inc., Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and The Sherwin-Williams Company. These partnerships reflect a reliance on proven vendors capable of delivering heavy industrial services—ranging from structural scaffolding and marine coating applications to mechanical power transmission systems and shipyard-specific equipment. Her contracting approach prioritizes reliability, technical compliance, and performance history, favoring vendors with demonstrated expertise in naval maintenance environments and stringent safety standards. Her procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 92.9% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, indicating a focus on broad market access and technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is present at 7.1%, it is primarily through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a balanced approach that prioritizes mission-critical outcomes while still supporting eligible small businesses. DiCamillo’s primary NAICS focus areas include Ship Building and Repairing (336611), Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing (333613), and Paint and Coating Manufacturing (325510), underscoring her technical expertise in marine industrial systems. She regularly procures specialized components such as propulsion drive trains, corrosion-resistant coatings, metal fabrication for hull and superstructure, and nautical instrumentation, demonstrating deep familiarity with naval engineering requirements and defense-grade manufacturing standards.
