Kevin Young serves as a procurement specialist at NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Pearl Harbor, supporting the U.S. Navy’s operational readiness across the Indo-Pacific region. He manages the acquisition of critical logistics, facility, and technical services essential to fleet sustainment, with a focus on consulting, institutional infrastructure, and educational support solutions. His role ensures alignment with the agency’s mission to maintain maritime security through reliable supply chain execution and specialized maintenance capabilities. Young handles a diverse portfolio of contract actions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, primarily involving service-based procurements requiring technical expertise and strategic vendor coordination. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Young’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms providing scientific and technical consulting, administrative management services, and institutional furniture solutions. He collaborates with a broad base of vendors, including both large-scale service providers and specialized manufacturers, ensuring the delivery of mission-critical support functions ranging from facility modernization to workforce training infrastructure. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and compliance with naval logistics standards. Young’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions classified as non-set-aside, indicating no formal preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This suggests a focus on technical merit and mission alignment over socioeconomic targeting, though small businesses may still participate through unrestricted competitions. His contracting strategy prioritizes capability, reliability, and scalability over socioeconomic categorization. His primary NAICS focus areas include 511210 (Software Publishers), 541690 and 541611 (Scientific and Management Consulting Services), 611310 (Higher Education Institutions), and 337127 (Institutional Furniture Manufacturing). This reflects a specialized procurement portfolio centered on professional services for naval training and administrative support, facility equipment, and software-enabled logistics systems. Young’s expertise lies in acquiring complex, service-integrated solutions that enhance sailor readiness and sustain operational infrastructure in a high-tempo maritime environment.
