Lloyd C Regas

Lloyd C. Regas serves as a key procurement professional within the Military Sealift Command, supporting the Department of Defense’s strategic sealift mission through the acquisition of deep-sea freight transportation services. His responsibilities center on managing contract vehicles that ensure the reliable, global movement of military cargo and fuel via government-owned and chartered vessels. He plays a critical role in sustaining naval expeditionary operations by securing maritime logistics capabilities that align with MSC’s operational tempo and readiness requirements. His acquisitions typically involve long-term charter agreements, vessel maintenance support, and integrated navigational and engineering services essential to maintaining afloat logistics readiness. Regas maintains consistent working relationships with a broad base of qualified maritime contractors specializing in ocean-going cargo transport, vessel operations, and fleet sustainment. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, he routinely engages with experienced commercial shipping firms capable of meeting stringent DoD safety, security, and operational standards. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, contractual compliance, and operational flexibility, fostering partnerships with vendors who demonstrate proven track records in global maritime logistics under dynamic operational conditions. Regas’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on capability-driven sourcing rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing mission-critical performance over programmatic diversity requirements. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, all vendors must meet rigorous technical and operational qualifications to ensure mission success. His primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation), reflecting deep expertise in international ocean carriage, containerized cargo transport, and breakbulk logistics. He procures services related to vessel chartering, crewing, fuel logistics, and maritime infrastructure support, ensuring seamless integration with U.S. Navy operational planning and global force projection requirements.
