Lyn Uratani

Lyn Uratani serves as a key procurement professional at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard IMF, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize the U.S. Navy’s fleet through complex ship repair and industrial infrastructure contracting. Responsible for managing acquisitions under NAICS 336611, Uratani oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for vessel maintenance, mechanical overhauls, and mission-critical system refurbishments. Her work ensures operational readiness by securing specialized industrial services essential to naval vessel availability, with a focus on precision engineering, hull integrity, and propulsion system restoration. She operates within a highly regulated defense environment, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and Navy-specific technical standards. Uratani maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of qualified contractors, including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, PACIFIC INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT CORP, XLEAGLE LLC, FAIRBANKS MORSE, LLC, and PHILIP RIEKE. These relationships are built on long-term performance reliability and technical expertise in naval repair environments, with vendors frequently engaged for specialized mechanical, electrical, and structural services. Her contracting approach prioritizes vendor familiarity with shipyard workflows, Navy technical specifications, and safety protocols, fostering collaborative, performance-based engagements rather than transactional transactions. Uratani demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a robust base of qualified small industrial contractors capable of supporting complex shipyard operations. Her procurement patterns consistently channel opportunities to small businesses with proven capabilities in marine systems, fabrication, and maintenance services, reinforcing the Navy’s socioeconomic goals while enhancing competition and innovation. Her technical domain is exclusively focused on NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—where she procures specialized services including dry-dock operations, welding and fabrication, pump and valve refurbishment, electrical system upgrades, and auxiliary machinery restoration. Uratani’s expertise lies in aligning contract requirements with the unique engineering demands of naval vessel sustainment, ensuring that all procurements meet stringent military standards for durability, safety, and mission-critical performance.
