Mira Brown

Mira Brown serves as a key procurement professional at the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval vessel readiness through industrial and maintenance contracting. She manages the acquisition of specialized industrial equipment and infrastructure critical to ship repair and maintenance operations, with a focus on metal fabrication systems, elevator installations, and protective coatings. Her work directly enables the operational availability of fleet assets by ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical components and industrial support services aligned with naval engineering standards. Brown maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of experienced industrial contractors, including W.V. Construction Company, Turn Key Scaffolding LLC, Premier Scaffolding, Inc., Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and The Sherwin-Williams Company. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in shipyard-grade metalwork, industrial scaffolding systems, marine-grade coating applications, and propulsion-related equipment. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, compliance with naval specifications, and long-term vendor performance, fostering stable, performance-driven relationships with contractors who meet stringent quality and safety benchmarks. Brown’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability and industrial capacity over socioeconomic classifications, prioritizing mission-critical outcomes and operational readiness above socioeconomic targeting. Her approach aligns with the center’s need for specialized, high-integrity suppliers capable of delivering complex industrial solutions under demanding naval environments. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332321 (Metal Window and Door Manufacturing) and 333921 (Elevator and Moving Stairway Manufacturing), indicating deep specialization in shipyard infrastructure components such as corrosion-resistant access systems, heavy-duty elevators for dry dock operations, and integrated metal enclosures. Her expertise centers on procuring engineered industrial systems that meet Navy MIL-SPEC and naval architecture standards, ensuring seamless integration into maintenance and repair workflows.
