Mark Hampton

Mark Hampton serves as a Contract Specialist at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard IMF (N32253), where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions to sustain and modernize the U.S. Navy’s fleet. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracts—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—he ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while supporting ship repair, mechanical overhauls, and industrial infrastructure modernization. His portfolio primarily encompasses complex technical acquisitions in shipbuilding, industrial equipment maintenance, and specialized training services essential to naval readiness. Hampton maintains established working 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 critical components and services ranging from marine propulsion systems to precision machining and industrial repair solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical validation, and performance-based contracting to ensure mission-critical reliability and regulatory compliance across high-stakes naval maintenance operations. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted procurements (64.5%), Hampton consistently prioritizes small business participation, with 35.5% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He actively fosters partnerships with qualified small businesses, ensuring equitable access to naval industrial work without relying on specialized socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a) or HUBZone, reflecting a preference for broad-based small business engagement over targeted programs. His technical focus centers on NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), with significant activity in 811219 and 811310 for industrial machinery repair and maintenance. He also procures professional training services under 611430 to enhance workforce competency in naval engineering disciplines. Hampton’s expertise lies in complex, technical acquisitions requiring deep industrial knowledge, rigorous quality assurance protocols, and strict adherence to naval specifications for vessel sustainment and operational readiness.
