Mary J Gambriel

Mary J. Gambriel serves as a Contract Specialist at NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound, where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical marine engineering systems and industrial maintenance services for U.S. Navy surface and submarine fleets. Her procurement activities center on the acquisition of precision-fabricated hardware, mechanical components, and specialized instrumentation essential to vessel readiness and operational sustainability. Gambriel manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation through award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and naval acquisition standards while aligning purchases with fleet modernization and sustainment priorities. She maintains longstanding relationships with key contractors including Timken Gears & Services Inc., Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corp, Bellingham Marine Industries, Palfinger Marine USA, and Jered LLC, all of whom provide high-reliability electro-mechanical systems, marine lifting equipment, and structural fabrication services. Gambriel’s contracting approach emphasizes technical precision and vendor reliability, fostering collaborative partnerships with suppliers capable of meeting stringent naval specifications for corrosion resistance, operational durability, and quality assurance under maritime conditions. Her contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with approximately two-thirds of awards issued without set-aside designation; however, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating roughly one-third of awards as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach ensures competitive rigor while enabling qualified small manufacturers to contribute to naval readiness. Gambriel’s technical focus lies primarily in NAICS 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), with significant activity in welding and soldering equipment (333992), motor and generator manufacturing (335312), and heating equipment (333414). She specializes in procuring instrumentation for electrical signal testing, industrial control systems, and mission-critical power components, demonstrating deep expertise in the engineering domains supporting naval propulsion, navigation, and auxiliary systems.
