Leon G. Hazley

Leon G. Hazley serves as a Contract Specialist at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard IMF (N32253), where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions to sustain and modernize the U.S. Navy’s fleet. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex acquisition contracts, Hazley specializes in ship repair, industrial maintenance, and deep-sea freight transportation services essential to naval vessel readiness. His work directly supports the shipyard’s core mission of precision engineering and mechanical overhauls, ensuring timely delivery of logistics and technical services that maintain operational availability across the Pacific Fleet. He routinely handles negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15, with a focus on performance-based contracts and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms. Hazley maintains longstanding relationships with key industrial partners including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Pacific Industrial Equipment Corp, XLEAGLE LLC, Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and Philip Rieke. These contractors provide specialized engineering, propulsion system components, marine equipment, and heavy-lift logistics support critical to shipyard operations. His contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, supply chain resilience, and long-term vendor collaboration, often resulting in repeat engagements with firms demonstrating proven capability in naval-grade repair and maintenance environments. His procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 95.7% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the specialized nature and scale of shipyard requirements. Only 4.3% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a strategic focus on mission necessity over socioeconomic preferences, though small business participation is not excluded when technical qualifications align. Hazley’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation), which accounts for over 80% of his activity, followed by NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing). He procures heavy marine equipment, propulsion systems, corrosion control materials, and mission-critical logistics services, demonstrating deep expertise in naval industrial base operations and maritime supply chain management.
