Maureen Fauske

Maureen Fauske serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division, supporting the U.S. Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize surface ship systems. She manages complex contracting actions for mission-critical engineering and industrial control infrastructure, including fluid power systems, shipboard valves, and propulsion components essential to naval platform readiness. Her work directly enables the acquisition of advanced mechanical and electro-hydraulic systems used in damage control, ballast, and industrial automation applications across the fleet. Fauske’s portfolio emphasizes technical rigor and lifecycle sustainment, ensuring that acquired systems meet stringent naval engineering standards and operational durability requirements. She maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense and industrial contractors including Fairbanks Morse, LLC, Leidos, Inc., Rolls-Royce Corporation, G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Kampi Components Co Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in marine-grade fluid power, high-integrity valve systems, and shipbuilding integration. Fauske’s contracting approach prioritizes technical capability, reliability, and long-term supportability, often resulting in multi-year performance-based agreements that ensure system interoperability and fleet-wide standardization. Fauske’s procurement activities are entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible pool of technically qualified suppliers, particularly those with specialized naval engineering experience. While small business participation is not formally mandated through socioeconomic set-asides, her contracting process remains open to qualified small businesses that meet the high technical thresholds of the acquisitions. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 333996 (Fluid Power Pump and Motor Manufacturing), with significant activity in 332911 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing) and 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing). She procures high-pressure hydraulic systems, marine-rated control valves, and integrated propulsion subsystems designed for harsh maritime environments, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with naval mechanical systems and industrial control architectures.
