Maria Di Lieto

Maria Dilieto serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Sigonella Naples Office, supporting the operational readiness of U.S. Navy and Department of Defense forces across the Mediterranean. She manages the acquisition of ship repair, maintenance, and modernization services critical to sustaining fleet availability, with a focus on direct procurement of vessel overhaul capabilities. Her work ensures timely delivery of mission-critical naval infrastructure support, aligning with the agency’s mandate to maintain combat-ready surface and submarine fleets through responsive, technically rigorous contracting. She handles complex service contracts under the NAICS 336611 category, often involving shipyard services, dry-docking, and systems integration for naval platforms. Maria maintains established working relationships with a core group of contractors including TERRESTRIS, LLC, RA INTERNATIONAL FZCO, and ALLIUM US HOLDING LLC, all of which provide specialized ship repair, logistics support, and technical services tailored to naval vessel sustainment. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, globally capable vendors with proven expertise in naval maintenance environments, particularly those capable of operating in austere or forward-deployed locations. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and supply chain resilience over geographic or socioeconomic preferences. Maria’s procurement activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on securing the highest technical capability and operational readiness outcomes, prioritizing vendor expertise and proven performance over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally targeted, her contracting decisions remain fully compliant with all federal acquisition regulations. Her technical domain is singularly focused on NAICS 336611 — Ship Building and Repairing — encompassing dry-dock services, hull and machinery repairs, propulsion system overhauls, and naval vessel modernization. She procures specialized marine engineering services, shipyard labor, and integrated maintenance packages essential to extending the service life and combat readiness of U.S. Navy assets in the European and Mediterranean theaters.
