Keiko D'Agostino

Keiko D’Agostino serves as a key procurement professional within the Military Sealift Command (N40443), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain the operational readiness of U.S. Navy auxiliary and sealift vessels. She manages the acquisition of mission-critical marine systems, including propulsion components, environmental control units, and fluid handling equipment essential for fleet sustainment. Her portfolio centers on technical procurement for shipboard infrastructure, with a focus on ensuring reliability through targeted sourcing of specialized industrial machinery and repair services. D’Agostino plays a pivotal role in aligning acquisition strategy with naval engineering requirements, ensuring that contracted solutions meet stringent maritime operational standards. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, D’Agostino maintains a consistent pattern of engagement with Tier-1 industrial suppliers and niche manufacturers specializing in naval-grade systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships with firms possessing demonstrated expertise in marine engineering, precision instrumentation, and shipboard maintenance. She prioritizes technical compliance and lifecycle support, often working with suppliers who provide certified repair, retrofit, and integration services for complex ship systems. D’Agostino exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 32% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, she actively facilitates opportunities for small businesses with specialized capabilities in pump manufacturing, industrial control systems, and heat exchanger repair. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to broaden the supplier base while maintaining technical rigor. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 333914 (pumping equipment), 334513 (industrial process control instruments), 333618 (engine equipment), 332410 (heat exchangers and boilers), and 811310 (commercial machinery repair). These categories reflect her deep technical expertise in fluid dynamics, thermal management, and mechanical subsystems critical to auxiliary vessel operations. D’Agostino’s work ensures that sealift assets remain mission-ready through precise, standards-driven acquisition of engineered components and maintenance services.
