Lynn Imperial

Lynn Imperial serves as a Contract Specialist at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard IMF (N32253), under the Department of the Navy, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisition strategies to sustain and modernize the U.S. Navy’s fleet. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from requirements validation and solicitation development to contract award and administration—Imperial ensures compliance with FAR and Navy-specific regulations while supporting mission-critical ship repair and industrial infrastructure initiatives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses shipbuilding and repair contracts, mechanical overhauls, and industrial maintenance services essential to naval vessel readiness and operational availability. Imperial maintains strong, ongoing relationships with key industrial partners including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Pacific Industrial Equipment Corp, Xleagle LLC, Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and Philip Rieke. These vendors provide specialized engineering, marine systems, propulsion components, and heavy industrial equipment services critical to shipyard operations. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven technical capabilities in naval maintenance environments, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance reliability and regulatory compliance. Her procurement approach reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with 42.9% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small businesses in the defense industrial base. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a strategic focus on fostering vendor diversity and enhancing competition within the shipyard’s supply chain. Imperial’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), which accounts for over half of her portfolio, followed by industrial machinery repair (811310) and facilities support services (561210). She specializes in acquiring precision mechanical systems, marine propulsion components, and industrial maintenance services essential to sustaining naval combatant readiness, reflecting deep technical familiarity with shipyard operations and defense logistics.
