Mark Bultman

Mark Bultman serves as a Contracting Officer at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard IMF, where he is responsible for managing complex acquisition programs essential to sustaining and modernizing the U.S. Navy’s fleet. His role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting for ship repair, maintenance, and industrial infrastructure projects under the Department of the Navy. Bultman oversees procurements governed by FAR and DFARS, with a focus on mission-critical engineering services, mechanical overhauls, and precision component refurbishment. He ensures compliance with naval readiness standards while balancing cost, schedule, and technical performance across high-stakes, long-duration contracts. Bultman maintains consistent 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 shipyard equipment, propulsion system components, and industrial maintenance services critical to vessel availabilities. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based outcomes, and technical alignment with naval engineering requirements, fostering reliable supply chain partnerships grounded in quality and regulatory compliance. While the majority of his acquisitions—approximately 80%—are competed without set-asides, Bultman actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for qualified small firms. His socioeconomic contracting patterns prioritize small business engagement without compromising mission readiness, ensuring compliance with statutory goals while maintaining competitive rigor. His procurement focus is overwhelmingly centered on NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), where he manages contracts for dry-dock operations, hull structural repairs, and naval system integrations. A secondary focus on NAICS 327910 (Abrasive Product Manufacturing) supports precision surface preparation and maintenance workflows. Bultman’s expertise lies in technical domains requiring stringent naval specifications, including corrosion control, marine propulsion systems, and industrial fabrication standards.
