Leigh Marvin

Leigh Marvin serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize the U.S. fleet through strategic acquisition of naval vessels and mission-critical maritime systems. Responsible for managing complex contract actions under NAICS 336611, Marvin oversees the full lifecycle procurement of shipbuilding and repair services, ensuring alignment with naval readiness objectives and technological advancement goals. Their work directly enables the integration of advanced hull, mechanical, and electrical systems across surface and undersea platforms, with a focus on maintaining fleet operational capability through timely, compliant, and performance-driven contracting. Marvin maintains established relationships with leading defense prime contractors including Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Damen Shipbuilding & Cooperation B.V., G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engaging both large-tier industrial base entities and specialized technology providers to deliver integrated shipbuilding solutions, repair infrastructure, and naval electronics systems. The contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical alignment with naval requirements, and rigorous performance accountability under cost-reimbursement and fixed-price contract types. Marvin’s procurement portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with approximately half of all contract actions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a deliberate strategy to foster competition and innovation through small business participation, particularly among firms capable of delivering specialized shipyard services, naval system components, and maintenance support. No other socioeconomic set-asides dominate the portfolio, indicating a targeted focus on broad small business eligibility rather than niche categories. The sole NAICS focus of 336611 underscores a deep specialization in naval shipbuilding and repair, encompassing new construction, dry-docking, modernization, and life-extension programs. Marvin’s expertise lies in procuring complex, high-integrity maritime platforms and associated systems, requiring stringent compliance with naval engineering standards, naval architecture specifications, and defense acquisition regulations. Their work ensures the Navy’s industrial base remains capable of sustaining technological superiority across the maritime domain.
