Mary Gordon

Mary Gordon serves as a key procurement lead within Mschq Norfolk, operating under the Department of the Navy, where she manages mission-critical acquisitions to sustain the operational readiness of U.S. Navy surface and auxiliary vessels. Her responsibilities center on executing full-cycle contracting for deep-sea freight transportation services, ship repair logistics, and specialized marine equipment procurement. She ensures alignment with naval fleet sustainment objectives by overseeing solicitations, evaluating technical proposals, and managing contract performance to meet stringent maritime operational requirements. Her work directly supports the agency’s mandate to maintain uninterrupted fleet deployment through reliable, high-integrity logistics solutions. Gordon maintains longstanding relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including EXXONMOBIL MARINE LIMITED, VIGOR MARINE LLC, and BOOZ ALLEN HAMILTON INC, who provide essential maritime transport, shipyard services, and operational support solutions. She also collaborates with ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC for specialized marine component procurement and FOREIGN POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE INC for strategic maritime analysis. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven track records in naval support, emphasizing performance reliability, regulatory compliance, and technical expertise over transactional vendor relationships. Gordon’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict no-set-aside policy, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, she ensures all solicitations adhere to statutory competition requirements and evaluate vendors based on technical capability, past performance, and operational readiness rather than socioeconomic status. Her primary focus is on NAICS 483111 — Deep Sea Freight Transportation — encompassing long-haul maritime logistics, heavy-lift vessel chartering, and intermodal cargo movement critical to fleet sustainment. She procures specialized marine equipment, dry-dock services, and mission-critical transport systems requiring compliance with Department of Defense and MARAD standards, demonstrating deep expertise in naval logistics and oceanic supply chain operations.
