Martinez Miller

Martinez A. Miller serves as a Contract Specialist Intern at the Southeast Regional Maintenance Center (N40027), supporting the U.S. Navy’s mission to sustain combat-effective surface fleet vessels through shipbuilding and repair acquisitions. In this role, Miller assists in the full lifecycle management of procurement actions under NAICS 336611, including solicitation development, contract administration, and compliance with FAR and DFARS requirements. Working closely with program managers and technical evaluators, Miller contributes to the execution of dry-docking, structural overhauls, and machinery modernization contracts critical to extending the service life of naval vessels. Their responsibilities include preparing contracting documentation, conducting market research, and ensuring alignment with agency priorities for fleet readiness and industrial base resilience. Miller collaborates with a diverse pool of defense contractors specializing in naval ship repair, marine systems integration, and industrial fabrication. While specific vendor names are not yet established due to their intern status, Miller engages with prime contractors and subcontractors possessing relevant DOD clearances, quality certifications, and experience in naval vessel maintenance. Their working relationships emphasize adherence to technical specifications, timely delivery of repair milestones, and compliance with naval engineering standards. Miller demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 31% of acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Though no specific socioeconomic categories are dominant, the preference for small business awards reflects a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity and strengthen the industrial base supporting naval maintenance. This pattern supports broader DoD goals of fostering competitive, resilient supply chains. The agency’s procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 336611, reflecting Miller’s deepening expertise in shipbuilding and repair. They support acquisitions for hull structural work, propulsion system upgrades, electrical retrofits, and dry-dock services—all essential to maintaining the operational readiness of the Navy’s surface fleet.
